2000–2004 Mcneilus Atlantic Rfel recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain concrete mixers and refuse trucks built on mack chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the wheels and tires do not match the capacity that the trucks would require.
💥 The risk
Omission of the tire load range may lead to the installation of tires with load ranges not appropriate for vehicle use. A failure occurring in tires due to inappropriate load range may result in loss of control of the vehicle and a crash CAN occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will supply new steer wheels and tires with a minimum 10,000 lb. Rating. The recall began on september 7, 2005. Owners may contact mcneilus at 507-374-6321.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
