- Defect:
- 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."
- Consequence:
- If the primary braking system fails, the emergency brake system may not achieve the level of performance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- 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.

- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.
