2006–2007 Mcneilus Bridgemaster V recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain concrete mixers equipped with hendrickson bridge axles, cracks have been found in the axle seat and kingpin hub portions.

If the cracks should propagate while the vehicle is in road use, it is possible that debris from the axle or adjacent vehicles parts could be deposited in the roadway, increasing the risk of damage to a following vehicle or a crash.
