The defect
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2020 Bridgemaster Mixer vehicles. These mixer trucks do not have the position at which the pusher axles should be operated listed on the information plate.
The risk
If the position in which the pusher axles should be operated is not listed, the operator may not know how the pusher axle should be positioned while the vehicle is not carrying a load, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
McNeilus will notify owners and provide a new information plate, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2020. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
