A weld concern in the pole-guide assembly can allow a retaining pin to come apart from its intended position. The official record says that could allow the pole guide arm to fall, creating an injury hazard for people near the truck.

## What the official recall record says

### TEREX: C4000, C5000, C6000 and other models

An insufficient weld on the plate weldment may crack, which can cause the retaining pin to separate. Without that pin, the pole guide arm may fall and increase the risk of injury to people around the truck. Ring Power will inspect the weldment plate and replace it when necessary at no charge.
