⚠️ What's wrong

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 risk

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.

🔧 The fix

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.

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.)
