What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (fender bracket failure) that creates a road hazard and increases the risk of a crash, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling 978 Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixers equipped with Hendrickson trailer axles using a square axle cross tube. These vehicles were produced between September 9, 2011, and May 8, 2013.

The recall addresses a defect where the fender may be insufficiently tightened to the trailing axle. This can cause the fender mounting bracket to crack and fail, potentially resulting in the fender and/or fender tube detaching from the axle. If components detach, they may create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

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. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
