Recalls for 2005 Terex Cement Mixer

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION

Posted on: 2005-04-28
Description
On certain heavy duty cement trucks, models 61010.5-185-0, 61011-197-0, 61011-200-9, 61211-200-9, 61211-205-9, 61211-230-22, 6610-197-0, 6811-185-0, 81011-197-0, 61010.5-185-0, 61211-200-9, the suspension had 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.  

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

Corrective Action
The vehicles will be inspected and the defective transverse beam assemblies replaced free of charge.  Owners may contact terex at 260-497-0728.
