15V-111 Open recall Feb 25, 2015

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR

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."

Risk: If the primary braking system fails, the emergency brake system may not achieve the level of performance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: 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. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
