- EQUIPMENT
- Problem
- Oshkosh Corporation (Oshkosh) is recalling certain 2018 McNeilus Bridgemaster V Concrete Mixer vehicles previously recalled under 18V-322. The vehicles may have received an incorrect replacement part during the recall remedy. The filler neck check valve may seal the tank too tightly, causing the tank to overpressurize and possibly rupture.
- Risk
- If the tank ruptures it may cause hydraulic fluid to spill. The ruptured tank can cause injuries from plastic debris. The spilled hydraulic fluid could be hot which could cause burn injuries. If the vehicle is on the road when the tank ruptures, the tank pieces or spilled hydraulic fluid may cause a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Oshkosh will notify owners, and instruct owners to inspect the vehicle to determine which filler neck was received and installed as part of 18V-322. If found to be incorrect, dealers will replace the filler neck, free of charge. The recall began August 9, 2019. Owners may contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278.
- Notes
- 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.
What this recall means for you
A replacement filler neck check valve installed during an earlier recall may seal the hydraulic fluid tank too tightly. This can cause the tank to overpressurize and possibly rupture, releasing plastic debris and hydraulic fluid that could be hot.
A rupture could injure people nearby with debris or cause burns from hot fluid. If the rupture happens while the vehicle is on the road, the debris or spilled fluid could create a road hazard and raise the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by Oshkosh and should inspect the vehicle to determine which filler neck was installed under the earlier recall. If it is the incorrect part, an authorized dealer will replace it free of charge. You can contact Oshkosh customer service at 1-888-686-7278 and check your VIN for open recalls.
