The problem
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2013-2015 HD REL-11, REL TG TAG-12, MA-42, M-44, ZR-48, AR-49, and Pacific LoPro FEL-88 Refuse Trucks, equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems by Agility Fuel Systems. The affected CNG systems have flexible stainless steel, sleeved, high pressure hoses that may corrode from exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt.
The risk
Corrosion of the fuel hose may result in a CNG leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, may increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
McNeilus will notify owners instructing them to contact Agility to have the defective hose assemblies replaced free of charge. The recall began on April 28, 2017. Owners may contact Agility customer service at 1-949-267-7745 or contact McNeilus customer service at 1-888-686-7278. McNeilus' number for this recall is Agility 16E-092.
