Oshkosh Recall 05V334000: Suspension
NHTSA recall 05V334000 · announced July 20, 2005 · filed by Oshkosh Truck Corporation · 490 units affected
The problem
ON CERTAIN TEREX ADVANCE CONCRETE MIXERS EQUIPPED WITH HOLLAND AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, A TRANSVERSE BEAM CASTING MAY FRACTURE UNDER NORMAL LOADS. IF A CASTING BREAKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR PIECES OF THE CASTING TO BECOME PROJECTILES AND THE SUSPENSION'S TRANSVERSE BEAM MAY DROP DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE.
The risk
THIS WILL CAUSE SPARKS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE.
What to do
HOLLAND, IN CONJUNCTION WITH OSHKOSK/TEREX, WILL HANDLE THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSVERSE BEAM ASSEMBLIES. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HOLLAND AT 1-888-396-6501, EXTENSION 8555 OR OSHKOSH AT 920-233-9244.
