Mcneilus Refuse Truck Recall 17V199: Corroded CNG fuel hoses can leak and raise fire risk

NHTSA campaign 17V199, reported March 23, 2017, 130 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain 2013-2015 McNeilus refuse trucks equipped with Agility Fuel Systems compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems have flexible stainless steel, sleeved, high-pressure fuel hoses that can corrode when exposed to conditions such as water mixed with road salt.

Corrosion of the fuel hose may cause a CNG leak. If a leak occurs in the presence of an ignition source, the risk of a fire increases.

Owners will be notified by McNeilus and should contact Agility to have the defective hose assemblies replaced free of charge. You can reach Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278, referencing Agility recall 16E-092. Check your VIN for open recalls.
