What this recall means for you
The license plate light on these rear loader trucks was installed in the wrong location, so it may not fully illuminate the license plate. This means the vehicle does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices. A poorly lit plate makes the truck harder for other drivers to see and identify at night, which raises the risk of a crash.
Owners will be sent a notification letter, which was mailed December 2, 2024. Authorized dealers will relocate the license plate light free of charge. You can also contact McNeilus Customer Service at 1-888-686-7278 with questions.
If you own one of these vehicles, check your VIN for open recalls and schedule the repair with an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
