Fatigue cracks may cause the leveling arm to fail. If the arm fails while the aerial device is in use, the platform may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.

Two 1998 TEREX AERIAL DEVICESs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
