What's wrong?
The platform control enable system on the 2015-2017 Terex Xt Pro 60 and Xt Pro 56 aerial devices is part of the operator control setup for the boom. These units raise an operator to an elevated work position while the vehicle is parked, stabilized on outriggers, and controlled from the platform. The enable lever is supposed to be engaged before the single stick control commands movement.
On affected units, the single stick assembly was installed or adjusted incorrectly. A spacer was found in the wrong position, and the control adjustment did not match the manual. When the enable system is out of adjustment, the rotation function is not fully locked out when the enable lever is released. That allows slow boom rotation from the single stick even though the operator has not engaged the enable lever.
The warning sign is specific: twisting the single stick control for rotation without engaging the enable lever makes the boom rotate slowly. There is no external difference to look for, but the enable lever has free play when properly adjusted.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Unexpected boom rotation creates an injury risk for anyone near the equipment. If the boom rotates when the single stick control is twisted without the enable lever engaged, stop using the rotation function and schedule inspection. Terex dealers inspect and adjust the single stick controls. Repair is free at any franchised Terex dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015-2017 Terex Xt Pro 60 or Xt Pro 56 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Terex dealer to schedule the free single-stick-control inspection and adjustment that addresses platform rotation movement when the enable is not depressed.
- Bring the recall notice if Terex mailed one. If not, reference recall number 18V008 when you call.
- Avoid operating the aerial device until the platform control enable system has been inspected and adjusted.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Terex technician inspects the single stick controls, confirms the platform control enable system is assembled correctly, and adjusts it so the rotation control does not move unless the enable is depressed. The inspection and adjustment are free under recall 18V008. Terex has a general reimbursement plan on file for documented repair costs paid before the recall notice. If you already paid for this related repair, bring prior repair paperwork to the service desk and ask how Terex handles reimbursement.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 18V008?
Recall 18V008 covers 1,526 2015-2017 Terex Xt Pro 60 and Xt Pro 56 aerial devices with a platform control enable system that was adjusted incorrectly. If rotation moves without the enable being pressed, injury risk increases. Terex dealers will inspect and adjust the single stick controls for free.
What should I do if my 2015-2017 Terex Xt Pro 60 or Xt Pro 56 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific aerial device is included in recall 18V008. If it is, contact a Terex dealer or Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975 to schedule the single stick control inspection and adjustment. Reference Terex recall SN663 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and Terex's remedy states that dealers will inspect the single stick controls, confirm correct assembly, and adjust them properly free of charge.
What is the safety risk on recall 18V008?
The safety risk is unintended slow rotation when the platform control enable is not pressed. That motion can increase the risk of injury around the aerial device. Until the free inspection is complete, use the equipment only under the operating guidance provided by Terex or the servicing dealer.
