What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the mixing drum may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.

Plain-English summary

Terex Advance is recalling certain model year 2015 Front Discharge Concrete Mixer Trucks manufactured between April 1, 2015, and June 23, 2015. The recall involves 120 vehicles where the bolts securing the concrete mixing drum to the drum drive plate may not have been properly tightened.

If the bolts are not properly tightened, the drum may separate from the vehicle, which increases the risk of injury or a crash. This is a structural defect affecting the integrity of the truck's primary component.

Terex will notify owners, and dealers will install new bolts using a thread locker after removing paint from under the fasteners. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2015. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-433-6691 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
