Terex Advance Concrete Trucks Recalled for Front Axle U-Bolt Fracture Risk

Plain-English summary

Terex Corporation is recalling certain model year 2013 Terex Advance front discharge concrete trucks, including the FD3000, FD4000, FD4000B, FD5000GL, FD6000B, FDB5000, and 4, 5, 6, and 7 Axle Glider models. These vehicles were manufactured between October 2012 and October 2013. The recall involves 209 vehicles.

The defect involves the u-bolt that attaches the front axle to the leaf spring, which can fracture. If the u-bolt fails, the front axle could separate from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of operator control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Terex will notify owners, and dealers will remove the u-bolts and attach the front axle to the leaf springs using plates and studs at no charge. The recall began on December 20, 2013. Owners may contact Terex at 1-605-882-4000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
