NHTSA recall 05V197000
Suspension
Indiana Concrete Mixer
Reported May 3, 200546 vehicles affectedINDIANA PHOENIX, INC.Built Jan 1, 2004 – Dec 31, 2004
The defect
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 remedy
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.
