Summary

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. "McNeilus" is recalling certain Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixers equipped with Hendrickson trailer axles using a square axle cross tube, produced between September 9, 2011 and May 8, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the fender may be insufficiently tightened to the trailing axle and the fender mounting bracket can crack and fail potentially resulting in the fender and/or fender tube detaching from the axle.

Consequence

If components of the fender detach from the vehicle, it may create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

McNeilus will notify owners, and service facilities will replace the fender brackets and new mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on July 5, 2013. Owners may contact McNeilus at 1-888-686-7278 or by email at mtmrefuseservice"mcneilusco.com. McNeilus's recall number is 41-0967369.
