What's wrong?
In NHTSA campaign 14V746, the fuel tank support on the 2014 Terex Light Tower AL5 is the structure that holds the lower section of the diesel fuel tank in place. The tank carries up to 60 gallons of fuel, so the support has to keep the tank stable when it is full and when the trailer moves over uneven ground.
On affected units, the lower part of the fuel tank does not have enough structural support. When the tank is filled with fuel, the weight can deform the tank. As the tank changes shape, it can move far enough to contact the trailer axle, which is not where the tank is supposed to sit or rub.
There is no warning sign before failure. Once the problem is visible, the tank can already be deformed enough to touch the axle, so inspection and the added fuel tank support are the repair path.
