What's wrong?
The extendable boom section on the 2014 Terex TZ-50 is the structural tube assembly that raises and reaches the aerial platform. Its welds hold the boom tubes together so the platform can stay supported while the lift is extended and in use.
On affected TZ-50 platforms, a welding process change left one of the welds in the extendable boom section vulnerable to cracking. Once a crack starts in that weld, the surrounding welded area loses strength. Continued use can lead to weld failure in that boom section, which compromises the structure that supports the lift.
There is no warning sign before failure. The defect is in the welded tube structure, so normal operation does not give an owner or operator a clear early signal that the weld has begun to crack.

What's the safety risk?
If the tube welds crack, the aerial platform can fall, increasing injury risk for the person on the platform and people nearby. Keep people clear of the lift until Terex or the dealer confirms the boom sections are repaired. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex dealer once available.
