What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the axle may detach, which aligns with the rubric criterion for a score of 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling 19 model year 2016 Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixers manufactured between April 8, 2016, and May 13, 2016. The recall addresses a defect in the bridge axle tube sleeves, which may crack along the welds.

If one tube sleeve cracks, vehicle handling may be affected. If both tube sleeves crack, the bridge axle may detach from the vehicle. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

The recall began on May 24, 2016. All affected vehicles have already had the bridge axles replaced free of charge, so no owner notification letter will be issued. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-507-374-6321 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
