What this recall means for you
Certain 2015 refuse trucks built between May 22 and October 26, 2015, with an optional tailgate for a compressed natural gas system may have been made without rear and side rear red reflectors. Without them, the truck does not meet federal lighting and reflective device requirements, and it can be less visible to other drivers, which raises the risk of a crash.
The manufacturer, McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc., will notify owners. Dealers will install the four missing reflectors at no charge. The recall began January 8, 2016. Owners can contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278 and reference recall number VSR-TSB-015. You can also check your vehicle identification number for open recalls.
