What's wrong?
The CNG fuel system on the 2013-2015 Mcneilus Refuse Truck uses flexible stainless steel sleeved hoses to carry compressed natural gas through the fuel delivery system. These hoses are built for high pressure service, so they have to hold gas securely while the truck is fueled, parked, and operating. The affected trucks use an Agility CNG system with Motion Industries CNG hose.
On affected trucks, water mixed with road salt and other environmental exposure can corrode the stainless steel braid around the hose. As corrosion advances, the hose loses protection and a fuel leak can start. The replacement hose is a Parker Parflex thermoplastic hose with a red polyurethane cover, or an equivalent NGV 3.1 approved hose.
A leak can show up after fueling. Owners or service crews can notice the smell of gas, or detect the leak with a combustible gas detector or leak-testing solution.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2013, 2014, and 2015 model years, all tied to the same fuel system component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Corroded fuel hoses can let CNG escape. If the leak reaches an ignition source, the fire risk increases. A gas odor after fueling, or a leak found with a detector or testing solution, needs service attention before the truck is operated again. Repair is free at any franchised Mcneilus dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Mcneilus Refuse Truck is included in this recall.
- Contact Mcneilus or Agility customer service to schedule the free CNG fuel-hose replacement that fixes the corrosion-prone hose assemblies.

What happens at the repair
At the repair visit, the defective CNG high-pressure hose assemblies are replaced free of charge through Agility, as directed by Mcneilus. A Mcneilus service contact can confirm which hose assemblies on the compressed natural gas fuel system are covered and coordinate the replacement. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing manufacturer's warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all affected products remain under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
