Terex Advance Mixer Trucks Recalled for Loose Axle Hex Nuts

Terex Advance is recalling 2015-2016 Mixer FD3000, FD4000, and FD6000B trucks because improperly tightened axle hex nuts may cause the driveshaft to disconnect, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (driveshaft disconnection) that increases the risk of a crash, but the source text does not report any deaths or serious injuries, placing it in the 'High' category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Terex Advance is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Mixer FD3000, FD4000, and FD6000B vehicles. These vehicles were manufactured between August 1, 2014, and September 30, 2015, and are equipped with drive axles manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. A total of 117 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The defect involves hex nuts on the flange yoke of the affected axles that may not have been properly tightened. If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle. This failure results in a loss of propulsion and increases the risk of a crash.

Terex will notify owners and provide instructions to properly torque the bolts. The recall began on July 15, 2016. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-433-6691. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
