Mcneilus recall: Fuel system, other
What is wrong
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 CNG Refuse and Concrete trucks manufactured July 30, 2014, to July 10, 2015. The affected 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.
What could happen
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.
The fix
McNeilus will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the PRD's, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2015. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is Emcara: 15E-059.
