Recall 13V560 affects 209 2013 Terex Advance front-discharge concrete trucks for fractured front-axle u-bolts. Repair is free at any franchised Terex Advance dealer.
Terex Advance is recalling 209 2013 front discharge concrete trucks, including the FD6000B and FD4000B, because a u-bolt that holds the front axle to the leaf spring can fracture. If the u-bolt fails, the front axle can separate from the truck, the operator can lose control, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The front leaf spring U-bolt on these 2013 Terex Advance front discharge concrete trucks clamps the front axle to the leaf spring assembly. The leaf spring carries the truck's weight and helps keep the axle located under the frame as the suspension moves. The U-bolt is the heavy steel clamp that holds those parts tight together.
On affected FD6000B, FD4000B, FD3000, FD4000, FD5000GL, FDB5000, 4 Axle Glider, 5 Axle Glider, 6 Axle Glider, and 7 Axle Glider trucks, that U-bolt can fracture. Once it breaks, the clamp force that holds the front axle to the spring is reduced or lost. That leaves the axle and spring connection unable to hold the suspension as designed.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the U-bolt has already cracked, the driver is not given a specific light, sound, or dashboard message that confirms the part is about to break.
Who's affected?
Covers 10 Terex Advance mixer and glider models from the 2013 model year, all tied to the front suspension.

What's the safety risk?
U-bolt failure can let the front axle separate from the vehicle. That can cause loss of operator control and increase the risk of a crash. Drive cautiously, limit use until service is arranged, and contact a Terex Advance dealer promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex Advance dealer once available.
