What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2020 Bridgemaster Mixer vehicles. These mixer trucks do not have the position at which the pusher axles should be operated listed on the information plate.

The risk

If the position in which the pusher axles should be operated is not listed, the operator may not know how the pusher axle should be positioned while the vehicle is not carrying a load, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

McNeilus will notify owners and provide a new information plate, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
