2011–2013 Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixer recall: body & structure

⚠️ What's wrong

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixers equipped with Hendrickson trailer axles using a square axle cross tube, produced between September 9, 2011 and May 8, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the fender may be insufficiently tightened to the trailing axle and the fender mounting bracket can crack and fail potentially resulting in the fender and/or fender tube detaching from the axle.

💥 The risk

If components of the fender detach from the vehicle, it may create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

McNeilus will notify owners, and service facilities will replace the fender brackets and new mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on July 5, 2013. Owners may contact McNeilus at 1-888-686-7278 or by email at [email protected]. McNeilus's recall number is 41-0967369.

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.)
