SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE
- 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.
- What it can cause
- 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.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 7 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mcneilus vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 2 times before this, most recently in June 2016 as 16V421000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. with NHTSA on December 8, 2020 as campaign 20V758000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
