What's wrong?
The upper control valve on 2025 Terex Tl-Series, HR40, HR46, Lt-Series, LTM40, and SCM55 aerial device vehicles sits at the platform controls. It directs hydraulic oil when an operator uses the boom, crane, ladder, or platform functions. In normal operation, the valve lets hydraulic flow move only when a control is selected and activated.
On affected vehicles, the valve assembly was built with the wrong NR plug. That plug changes how the hydraulic circuit behaves, so the engine loads the system when platform controls are selected even when the operator has not activated a function. The hydraulic equipment then runs hotter than designed, which creates an overheating problem during use. Terex identifies the incorrect NR plugs by color: the wrong plugs are black, and the correct plugs are silver.
An owner or operator can notice the engine working under load after selecting platform controls while no platform movement is commanded. The hydraulic oil can also run hotter than normal.
Who's affected?
All 6 listed Terex models use the same upper control valve assembly at the platform controls.

A matching 2025 Terex model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
If platform controls are selected but not activated, the engine stays under load and hydraulic oil runs hotter than normal. Touching overheated hydraulic parts increases the risk of burn injuries. Keep people clear of hot equipment and schedule the valve inspection and repair. Repair is free at any franchised Terex dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Terex Tl-Series, HR40, HR46, Lt-Series, LTM40, or SCM55 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Terex dealer to schedule the free control-valve inspection and repair that addresses the hydraulic equipment overheating caused by the incorrect plug.
- Bring the recall notice if Terex mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V006 when you call.
- Avoid touching hydraulic equipment that is hot, and keep others clear of overheated parts until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Terex technician inspects the control valve and repairs it if the incorrect plug or related hydraulic overheating issue is found. The inspection, repair labor, and any needed parts are covered under the recall, so the dealer visit is free. Terex also lists reimbursement for labor to inspect or repair the control valve, with parts supplied if needed. If you already paid for this recall-related work, contact Terex customer service and ask how to submit a reimbursement claim under recall 26V006.
