Mcneilus recall: Parking brake
What is wrong
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."
What could happen
If the primary braking system fails, the emergency brake system may not achieve the level of performance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
McNeilus will notify owners, and dealers will install a check valve, free of charge. The recall began on March 10, 2015. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is VSR-TSB-009.
