What's wrong?

The affected 2011-2015 Terex Advance Mixer FD4000B, Mixer FD5000B, Mixer FD6000B, and Mixer FD7000B concrete mixers use steerable tag axles to help support and guide the truck. An Eaton Hydraulics S26 gear pump powers that steering function by moving hydraulic fluid under pressure, so the tag axle follows steering input instead of dragging or resisting it.

The problem is inside certain S26 gear pumps. Eaton identified manufacturing inconsistencies that leave some pumps vulnerable to premature failure. When the pump fails in this steering application, hydraulic assist to the steerable tag axle drops or stops, reducing the driver's ability to steer the mixer properly.

There is no warning sign before failure. The filing does not identify a noise, warning light, or gradual steering change that owners can rely on before the pump fails.
