What's wrong?
The 2018-2019 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete mixer trucks in this recall use Meritor EX225 air disc brake calipers. A brake caliper is the part that squeezes the brake pads against the rotor when air pressure commands the brakes to apply. The drive pins help the caliper stay aligned and move correctly as the brake applies and releases.
On affected trucks, the drive pins in the axle sub-assembly were cracked during assembly. A cracked pin can fracture completely after the truck is placed in service. If that happens, the caliper loses the support it needs to operate as designed, and the brake at that wheel is no longer working from a solid, aligned mounting point.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not rely on a sound, pedal change, or dashboard warning to identify this defect before a drive pin fractures.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
A fully fractured drive pin can make the vehicle pull to one side during braking. That loss of control increases crash risk, especially when stopping a heavy concrete truck. If braking feels uneven or the vehicle pulls, slow down, park safely, and call the dealer before using it again. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex Advance dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete is included in this recall.
- Contact Terex Advance customer service at 1-605-882-4000 for repair routing because Meritor dealers inspect and replace the brake calipers free of charge.
- Ask whether the brake-caliper inspection and replacement is open for your VIN before driving the mixer to a repair location.
- Bring the recall notice if Terex Advance mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V152 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and stop using the mixer if it pulls to the side while braking.
What happens at the repair
Terex Advance has notified owners, and the repair path sends the truck to the dealer for brake caliper inspection and replacement at no charge once the recall repair is available. At the dealer, a Terex Advance technician checks the Meritor EX225 disc brake calipers for cracked drive pins in the axle sub-assembly and installs replacement calipers where needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. The source record says the recall began April 23, 2019, so ask the service desk to confirm parts availability before bringing the truck in.
