What's wrong?
The main chute on a 2016 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete mixer directs wet concrete from the mixer to the pour area. The outer chute race is the support and rotation point for that chute, so the chute can be positioned and held while the truck works or moves between job sites.
Under NHTSA campaign 16V413, the problem is the weld on the outer chute race. Terex Advance traced the defect to main chute race assemblies from a particular supplier. The recalled retaining angle has a rounded corner, while the remedy part uses a sharp corner. If the weld fails, the main chute can separate from the truck and fall while the vehicle is moving.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not count on noise, looseness, or visible movement to appear before the chute race fails.
