What happened

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2013-2018 garbage truck models powered by compressed natural gas, including Bridgemaster Mixer, Standard Mixer, and various loader models. These vehicles have pressure relief devices that may fail to function properly, which could allow pressure to build up in the CNG tank if exposed to fire, potentially causing the tank to explode and increasing the risk of fire and injury.

If you own one of the recalled vehicles, McNeilus will notify you of the recall. Dealers will inspect and replace the pressure relief devices at no charge. The recall began October 30, 2019. To arrange service, contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
