McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. "McNeilus" is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 CNG Refuse and Concrete trucks manufactured July 30, 2014, to July 10, 2015. The affected vehicles are powered with compressed natural gas "CNG" and are equipped with pressure relief devices "PRD" that may not function as designed, failing to vent a buildup of pressure, such as could occur if the CNG tank was exposed to fire.
If the PRD does not activate in the event of a buildup of pressure, the CNG tank may explode, increasing the risk of fire and injury.
McNeilus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the PRD's, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2015. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is Emcara: 15E-059.
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.
