What's wrong?
On 1997-2013 Terex XT60 and XT55 aerial devices, the lower boom hinge pin boss is the reinforced mount where the lower boom pivots at the turntable. The turntable is the rotating base of the lift, and the hinge pin boss holds the pin that lets the boom move while carrying the forces from raising, lowering, and positioning the bucket.
The recall issue is cracking around that hinge pin boss. When the area around the boss cracks, the boom pivot loses structural support at the point where loads concentrate. The problem is not an electrical fault or a hydraulic leak; it is a crack in the metal structure that supports the lower boom at the rotating base.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners and fleet operators should not rely on a light, alarm, or change in controls to identify the problem before inspection.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Terex technician provides a welding reinforcement around the lower boom hinge pin boss area on the affected aerial device. The source also tells owners to keep following the inspection and repair process from the earlier Terex recall instructions for this boom area. Terex has not provided a notification schedule in this source, so the final dealer repair should be treated as not yet open from this record. Once available, the reinforcement work is free under the recall.
