2012-2013 Schwing S39SX-S61SX Recall 14V035: DC-DC Fire

RN
Reviewed by the RecallNotify editorial team
Published June 2, 2026

Recall 14V035 affects 127 2012-2013 Schwing S58SX, S61SX, S39SX, and S43SX concrete pump trucks for fire risk. Repair is free at any franchised Schwing dealer.

Schwing is recalling 127 2012-2013 S58SX, S61SX, S39SX, and S43SX concrete pump trucks because Sure Power DC-DC converters use an epoxy potting compound that can conduct electricity after heat exposure. Once conductive, the material can melt and burn, increasing fire risk; the Schwing dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The affected part is a Sure Power DC-DC converter in the electrical system on 2012-2013 Schwing S39SX, S43SX, S58SX, and S61SX concrete pump trucks. A DC-DC converter takes direct-current electrical power and changes it to the voltage needed by other truck equipment. Inside the converter, an epoxy sealing compound, also called potting, is supposed to insulate and protect the electronics.

On these trucks, the specific potting compound used for insulation does not stay insulating after heat exposure. Once heated, that compound can conduct electricity instead of separating electrical paths. That defeats the purpose of the insulation and lets current travel where the converter was designed to keep it contained.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or operator should not count on a light, smell, sound, or change in pump operation to appear before the converter problem shows up.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the material becomes electrically conductive, it can melt and burn, increasing the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, avoid unnecessary use and arrange the dealer repair promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Schwing dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Schwing S39SX, S43SX, S58SX, or S61SX concrete pump truck is included in this recall.
  2. Call Schwing customer service at 1-888-724-9464 to confirm repair availability for the DC-DC converter replacement.
  3. Ask Schwing where to schedule the free converter replacement that removes the heat-damaged electrical part tied to the fire risk.
  4. Bring the recall notice if Schwing mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V035 when you call.
  5. Keep the truck out of service if you see heat damage, melting, burning, or electrical trouble, and ask Schwing for transport guidance before moving it.
