2013–2015 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
Terex Advance (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Front Discharge Concrete Mixer Trucks manufactured August 20, 2012, to December 5, 2014. Due to improperly secured castellated retaining nuts on the front axle leaf spring rear pin and the steering system, the rear end of the front axle leaf spring may partially disconnect from the front suspension hanger.
💥 The risk
If the front axle spring becomes partially disconnected from the front suspension hanger, steering difficulty may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the retaining nut installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 15, 2015. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-433-6691.
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.)
