2016–2017 Mcneilus Bridgemaster V Mixer recall: backup camera
⚠️ What's wrong
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Bridgemaster V concrete mixers, equipped with both FLEX Controls and an optional broadband backup alarm. The backup camera display may shut off and the alarm may stop sounding if the truck is in reverse for an extended period of time.
💥 The risk
If the backup alarm stops emitting the alarm sound when the truck is still reversing, others may not be alerted that the truck is backing up, increasing the risk of personal injury.
🔧 The fix
McNeilus has notified owners, and dealers will add a relay into the electrical circuit for the backup alarm system, free of charge. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-507-374-6321.
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.)
