Vehicle report
Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

If you are experiencing repeated failures of the main pressure tube (PN 1137938 or PN 1597692) at or near the welded saddle port and have replaced the tube, McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing offers these instructions for an alternate option to help reduce the repeated failures of the tube. The instructions are to replace the ejector force limited tube (PN 1137935), which attaches to the main pressure tube (PN 1137938 or PN 1597692), with a flexible hose. A flexible hose may allow for less tension on the rigid tube and help reduce frequent failures. A flexible hose 14â-16â in length will be required. This flexible hose may be purchased from McNeilus Parts.
MISC-TSIB-078
McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing offers these instructions for ejector cylinder bypass testing.
MISC-TSIB-073
This technical service information bulletin lists instructions to replace the hydraulic vane pumps on McNeilus front and rear loading refuse collection trucks with a longer life hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump powers vehicle body functions for refuse collection.
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
