The vehicle is subject to five recalls addressing various equipment and safety system concerns. These recalls involve the chute rack, parking brake system, fire extinguisher functionality, fuel system pressure relief devices, and hydraulic tank components.
Recalls- Vertical chute rack. Recall 14V135000 affects 213 vehicles from the 2013-2014 model years with optional vertical chute racks. The chute extensions may fall unexpectedly, creating road hazards that increase crash risk. Dealers will replace the chute rack design free of charge.
- Parking brake system. Recall 15V111000 covers 536 Bridgemaster V mixers built between 2005 and 2014 with an optional parking brake on the trailing liftable axle. The valve may allow secondary brake pressure to drop below 45 psi, causing noncompliance with FMVSS No. 121 and reducing emergency brake effectiveness. Dealers will install a check valve at no cost.
- Fire extinguishers. Recall 15V572000 affects 6,745 vehicles from 2013-2015 with certain Kidde plastic valve fire extinguishers that may fail to discharge properly. This defect could increase injury risk in a fire event. Owners receive instructions for inspection and replacement as needed at no charge.
- Pressure relief devices (PRD). Recall 19V656000 involves 330 CNG-powered Bridgemaster and other McNeilus models from 2013-2018. PRDs may fail to vent pressure buildup, risking tank explosion and fire. Dealers inspect and replace PRDs free of cost.
- Composite hydraulic tank. Recall 18V322000 covers 1,669 Bridgemaster V mixers with optional composite hydraulic tanks manufactured from 2008-2018. The filler neck check valve may cause overpressurization and potential tank rupture, leading to fluid spills, burn injuries, and road hazards. Dealers replace the filler neck free of charge.
Owners with repeated repairs or unresolved safety recalls should consider consulting their state’s lemon law provisions for possible protections. Persistent safety defects or recall issues may qualify for specialized legal remedies.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Bridgemaster Mixer, Standard Mixer, Model 49 Autoreach Side Loader, Model 48 Zero Radius Side Loader, Model 78 Meridian Front Loader, Model 29 Atlantic Front Loader, Model 87 Contender Front Loader, Model 42 Manual Automated Side Loader, Model 16 3.5 yard TG Rear Loader, Model 11 Heavy Duty Rear Loader, Model 66 40.60 Split Body Rear Loader, Model 10 Standard Rear Loader, Model 12 Tailgate Tag Axle Rear Loader, and Model 13 High Compaction Rear Loader vehicles. The vehicles are powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) and are equipped with pressure relief devices (PRD) that may not function as designed, failing to vent a buildup of pressure, such as could occur if the CNG tank was exposed to fire.
Risk: If the PRD does not activate in the event of a buildup of pressure, the CNG tank may explode, increasing the risk of fire and injury.

EQUIPMENT
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2008-2018 Bridgemaster V concrete mixers equipped with an optional composite material hydraulic tank. The filler neck check valve may seal the tank too tightly, causing the tank to overpressurize and possibly rupture.
Risk: If the tank ruptures it may cause hydraulic fluid to spill. The ruptured tank can cause injuries from plastic debris. The spilled hydraulic fluid could be hot which could cause burn injuries. If the vehicle is on the road when the tank ruptures, the tank pieces or spilled hydraulic fluid may cause a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash.

EQUIPMENT
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc., (McNelius) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 McNeilus Bridge Master Mixer, Standard Mixer, Sliding Trailer Mixer, Standard Rear Loader, Rear Loader w/3.5 YD HD Tail, Zero Radius Automated, Auto Reach, Atlantic Front Loader, Split Body Rear Loader, Rear Loader w/Tag Axle, Metro Pak Rear Loader, XXC Rear Loader, and Pacific Front Loader vehicles manufactured August 1, 2013, to May 14, 2015. These concrete mixers and refuse trucks are equipped with certain Kidde plastic valve disposable handheld fire extinguishers that may not properly discharge when the lever is pressed.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not work correctly, there is an increased risk of injury.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2005-2014 Bridgemaster V Mixer vehicles manufactured October 1, 2005, to December 31, 2014. The affected vehicles are built with the optional Bridgemaster parking brake system on the trailing liftable axle. This parking brake system includes a valve that allows the secondary brake pressure to fall below the required 45 psi after one treadle application. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: If the primary braking system fails, the emergency brake system may not achieve the level of performance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
