2013–2015 Mcneilus Refuse Truck recall: fuel system

⚠️ What's wrong

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2013-2015 HD REL-11, REL TG TAG-12, MA-42, M-44, ZR-48, AR-49, and Pacific LoPro FEL-88 Refuse Trucks, equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems by Agility Fuel Systems. The affected CNG systems have flexible stainless steel, sleeved, high pressure hoses that may corrode from exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt.

💥 The risk

Corrosion of the fuel hose may result in a CNG leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire.

Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is Agility 16E-092.

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.)
