EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Zero Radius trucks. The ejector welds may fail, causing pressure and force to be placed on the hydraulic cylinder, which can cause it to penetrate through the side of the truck body.
- What it can cause
- A hydraulic cylinder that penetrates the side of a truck body increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- McNeilus will either send service representatives to repair affected vehicles or ship parts to customers, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 21, 2022. 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 1,140 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mcneilus vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 7 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V377000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 24V632000 (equipment).
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 September 23, 2022 as campaign 22V716000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
