Recalls for 2004 Oshkosh Ad Series

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION

Posted on: 2005-07-28
Description
On certain terex advance concrete mixers equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting 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.

Consequence
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

Corrective Action
Holland, in conjunction with oshkosk/terex, will handle the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.  Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies.  Owners may contact holland at 1-888-396-6501, extension 8555 or oshkosh at 920-233-9244.
