Recall 05V-197: 2004 Indiana Concrete Mixer

The problem

On certain heavy duty class 8 front discharge concrete trucks equipped with holland suspension, the suspension has transverse beam castings that 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 could cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

The fix

Holland, in conjunction with indiana phoenix, will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies free of charge. Owners should contact holland USA at 1-616-396-6501 or indiana phoenix at 260-897-4397.
