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.

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.

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.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
