Summary

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. "McNeilus" is recalling certain 2016-2017 Bridgemaster V concrete mixers, equipped with both FLEX Controls and an optional broadband backup alarm. The backup camera display may shut off and the alarm may stop sounding if the truck is in reverse for an extended period of time.

Consequence

If the backup alarm stops emitting the alarm sound when the truck is still reversing, others may not be alerted that the truck is backing up, increasing the risk of personal injury.

Remedy

McNeilus has notified owners, and dealers will add a relay into the electrical circuit for the backup alarm system, free of charge. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-507-374-6321.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
