The single recorded entry describes an autonomous haul truck reversing into an excavator at BHP's Goonyella coal mine in August 2023, coded at severity 2. This is an operational contact incident between two pieces of mining equipment rather than a recall or regulatory action. Caterpillar's index (6.4) is comparatively low in absolute terms, yet its percentile (98.1) places it near the top of the off-highway category, indicating most category peers carry lower index values still. The record is a single press-reported operational incident with no indication of a recurring or systemic pattern.
