Secondary Brake Pressure Insufficient/FMVSS 121
Description
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2005-2014 Bridgemaster V Mixer vehicles manufactured October 1, 2005, to December 31, 2014.

Injuries / Consequence
If the primary braking system fails, the emergency brake system may not achieve the level of performance needed, increasing the risk of a crash.
