What's wrong?
The 2023 Terex Advance Commander uses a Hendrickson Composilite SC20 lift axle, a suspension axle that helps carry load and holds a wheel-end hub at each side of the truck. The steering knuckle is the heavy steering part at the end of that axle. Its bearing journal is the machined surface the hub fits around, so the hub sits square and stays in its designed position.
On the recalled Commanders, the bearing journals were not seated correctly into the backbones of the left and right steering knuckle assemblies during manufacture. That misalignment prevents the wheel-end hub assemblies from being installed as designed. The repair uses replacement steering knuckle assemblies with journal rings fully seated into the knuckle backbones.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not count on a noise, warning light, steering feel, or visible change to identify this defect before inspection.
