2004 Indiana Concrete Mixer recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty class 8 front discharge Concrete trucks equipped with holland suspension, the suspension has transverse beam castings that may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway, there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
💥 The risk
This could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
Holland, in conjunction with indiana phoenix, will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. Owners should contact holland USA at 1-616-396-6501 or indiana phoenix at 260-897-4397.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
