What's wrong?
The front drive steer axle on the 2016-2017 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete mixer carries the front wheel ends and also lets those wheels steer the truck. The king-pin is the heavy pivot pin in that front axle. It holds the steering knuckle in position while the wheel end turns left or right and carries road loads from the front of the mixer.
On affected mixers, the Meritor MX810 Series axle has king-pin geometry that puts too much stress in the pin area. That stress can start a fracture in the king-pin. If the fracture grows through the part, the wheel end can separate from the axle, which affects steering and front suspension control.
There is no warning sign before failure. A partial fracture is not visible or noticeable in normal operation, and the problem becomes identifiable only if the wheel end separates from the axle.

What's the safety risk?
Wheel-end separation can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. A partial lower king-pin fracture has no owner-visible warning sign before complete separation, so schedule the recall repair soon and avoid unnecessary operation until the vehicle is inspected. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex Advance dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Terex Advance technician replaces all affected lower king pins in the front drive steer axle. The filing identifies the king pin as the part tied to possible wheel end separation, so the repair focuses on removing the suspect pins and installing replacements. The dealer repair will be free once available. Terex Advance also lists customer service as the owner contact for this campaign.
