NHTSA Campaign 15V720000

EQUIPMENT

Issued by McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. · Reported Nov 2, 2015 · 730 vehicles affected

What's wrong

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Atlantic, Pacific, Contender, and Ultra front loader refuse trucks manufactured March 2, 2012, to October 14, 2015 and equipped with an optional hydraulic test port tube to check hydraulic system pressures and taking hydraulic fluid samples. This tube may crack or break and allow hydraulic fluid to contact hot exhaust and turbo components.

Consequence

Hydraulic fluid contacting hot exhaust and turbo components increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy

McNeilus will notify owners, and dealers will remove the optional hydraulic test port tube, and cap off the hydraulic test inlet port, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2015. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is VSR-TSB-014.
