Owners of the listed Terex vehicles should be aware of a hitch installation issue that can affect the rear mounting area. If the hitch fails, trailer control may be lost, raising the risk of a crash.

## What the official recall record says

### TEREX: C4000, C6000, GENERAL 65 and other models

The affected vehicles may have a pintle hitch installed without the reinforced bracing intended for that setup. That can allow the rear bumper hitch plate to bend and may lead to hitch failure, with a resulting loss of trailer control. The manufacturer plans to inspect the hitch, replace it and add bracing; a damaged bumper is to be replaced as needed, at no charge.
