Defect description
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Standard (REL-10), Heavy Duty (REL-11), Extra Compaction (XC/REL-13), 3.5 yd Tag Axle (TG/REL-16), Atlantic Front Loader (FEL-29), Zero Radius (ZR/ASL-48), AutoReach (AR/ASL-49), Pacific Ultra Front Loader (FEL-76) and Pacific Full Eject Front Loader (FEL-87) refuse trucks, and Bridgemaster(BMV) and Standard (STD) concrete mixers, equipped with Cummins ISX12G compressed natural gas (CNG) engines.
