McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. "McNeilus" is recalling certain 2014-2016 Standard "REL-10", Heavy Duty "REL-11", Extra Compaction "XC/REL-13", 3.5 yd Tag Axle "TG/REL-16", Atlantic Front Loader "FEL-29", Zero Radius "ZR/ASL-48", AutoReach "AR/ASL-49", Pacific Ultra Front Loader "FEL-76" and Pacific Full Eject Front Loader "FEL-87" refuse trucks, and Bridgemaster"BMV" and Standard "STD" concrete mixers, equipped with Cummins ISX12G compressed natural gas "CNG" engines. These vehicles may have been built with an incorrect fitting to connect the low pressure CNG hose to the CNG fuel filter.
The incorrect fitting may result in a CNG leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire. Additionally, the hose may disconnect from the filter and result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
McNeilus will notify owners, and pay for the owner's service technicians to install the correct fitting. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is VSR-TSB-017.
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.
