What happened

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2016 refuse trucks and concrete mixers equipped with Cummins ISX12G compressed natural gas engines. These vehicles may have an incorrect fitting that connects the low pressure CNG hose to the CNG fuel filter. The incorrect fitting may cause a CNG leak that could lead to a fire if an ignition source is present, and the hose may disconnect from the filter, causing engine stall and increasing crash risk.

McNeilus will notify owners and pay for service technicians to install the correct fitting at no cost to the owner. Owners of affected vehicles should contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278 and reference recall number VSR-TSB-017.
