What's wrong?
The frame on a 2006-2014 Terex Aerial Devices unit is the main steel structure under the Ford F550 chassis and the Terex aerial equipment. It carries the vehicle body, supports the mounted aerial device, and keeps the truck structure aligned while the unit is driven or used at a job site.
On affected TLM series units, a crack can develop in a notch in the vehicle frame. A notch is a shaped cut or relief area in the steel, and stress concentrates there as the frame carries weight and movement. Once a crack starts, the frame no longer has its full strength at that point, and the damage can grow with continued use.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the recall description does not list an owner-noticeable symptom, do not rely on noise, ride feel, or a visual glance from outside the truck to rule out the defect.

- Schedule the frame repair that fixes cracked frames and adds reinforcement to help prevent frame failure.

What happens at the repair
Terex's listed repair is to inspect the frame area tied to the recall. If the frame has cracked, a Terex technician repairs the crack. If the frame has not cracked, the technician installs a preventative reinforcement on the affected vehicle. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under the recall. Ask the service desk to confirm whether the frame repair or reinforcement applies to your unit before leaving it for service.
