Chronology :
On 10/30/2023, Terex received a report from the field of a platform that dumped. The investigation found that a cover was damaged due to contact with another object and severed the power wires to the leveling controller and the secondary system that limits platform tilting to 15 degrees.
On 11/3/2023, testing of the system shows that if power is disconnected from the leveling controller while squeezing the unit control enable trigger, the platform may dump.
On 11/14/2023, a software update is implemented for production that prevents the platform from dumping if power to the leveling controller is disconnected.
On 11/16/2023, Terex received a report from a dealer of a platform that dumped during a function test, the investigation discovered the power wire to the leveling controller was disconnected. Terex consulted with the level controller supplier to determine if all units in the time frame may have been affected. The affected unit list was finalized on 6/5/2024 and the decision to recall was made on 6/10/2024.
