McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. — Backup Alarm System may Stop Sounding
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
If the backup alarm stops emitting the alarm sound when the truck is still reversing, others may not be alerted that the truck is backing up, increasing the risk of personal injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
McNeilus has notified owners, and dealers will add a relay into the electrical circuit for the backup alarm system, free of charge. Owners may contact McNeilus customer service at 1-507-374-6321.
