What's wrong?
The vertical chute rack on 2013-2014 Mcneilus Bridgemaster V Mixer and Standard Mixer concrete mixers stores the extension chutes carried on the truck. Those chutes give the crew extra reach when placing concrete. The rack is supposed to hold each chute securely while the mixer is driven between jobs.
On affected mixers, the optional vertical chute rack does not keep the extension chutes captured as intended. An extension chute can slide or drop out unexpectedly while the truck is moving or being handled around a job site. That means equipment meant to stay mounted on the truck can fall away from the rack instead of remaining secured until the crew removes it.
No owner warning is listed for this defect. There is no warning sign before failure. A chute that looks stowed can still fall out without advance notice.

What's the safety risk?
If the extension chute falls from the rack, it creates a road hazard and increases crash risk. Use extra care around the chute rack and schedule the recall repair when Mcneilus opens it. Repair will be free at any franchised Mcneilus dealer once available.

- Call Mcneilus at 1-507-374-6321 for repair instructions and reference recall number 14V135.
- Ask when the free vertical-chute-rack replacement is ready for your VIN; the new rack design keeps extension chutes from falling out.
- Bring the Mcneilus owner notice if you have it when the repair is scheduled.
- Secure the extension chutes before moving the mixer and avoid road use until Mcneilus confirms the rack repair path.
