Terex Advance: Suspension › Front › Springs › Leaf Spring Assembly › U-bolt, Leaf Spring to Axle
Terex Advance reported this defect to federal regulators on Nov 7, 2013 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 209. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Terex Corporation is recalling certain model year 2013 Terex Advance FD3000, FD4000, FD4000B, FD5000GL, FD6000B, FDB5000, 4 Axle Glider, 5 Axle Glider, 6 Axle Glider, and 7 Axle Glider front discharge concrete trucks manufactured October 2012 through October 2013. The u-bolt that attaches the front axle to the leaf spring can fracture.
The risk
Failure of u-bolts could lead to separation of the front axle from the vehicle, resulting in loss of operator control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will remove the u-bolts and attach the front axle to the leaf springs using plates and studs, free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2013. Owners may contact Terex at 1-605-882-4000.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 13V560000.
