McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc.: Suspension › Rear › Axle › Non-powered Axle Assembly
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 10, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 19. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2016 Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixers manufactured April 8, 2016, through May 13, 2016. The affected vehicles have bridge axle tube sleeves that may crack along the tube sleeve welds.
The risk
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 remedy
The owners have been notified and all the affected vehicles have had the bridge axles replaced, free of charge. Therefore, an owner notification letter will not be issued for this campaign. The recall began on May 24, 2016. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-507-374-6321. McNeilus' number for this recall is Hendrickson TB-H801.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V421000.
