The problem

Certain concrete mixers and refuse trucks built on mack chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the wheels and tires do not match the capacity that the trucks would require.

The risk

Omission of the tire load range may lead to the installation of tires with load ranges not appropriate for vehicle use. A failure occurring in tires due to inappropriate load range may result in loss of control of the vehicle and a crash can occur.

The fix

Dealers will supply new steer wheels and tires with a minimum 10,000 lb. Rating. The recall began on september 7, 2005. Owners may contact mcneilus at 507-374-6321.
