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.

REL-TSIB-024
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.
VSR-WI-003-A
Internal Document work instructions. McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing, Inc. has been alerted by our supplier that a concern affecting safety exists in some Emcara Pressure Relief Device (PRD) valves on CNG tanks (for your information,Emcara?s NHTSA Recall number is 15E059). Some McNeilus Refuse models were shipped with an Emcara CNG PRD which may not vent properly. The purpose of the thermal PRD is to relieve pressure in the CNG system if the CNG tank is reaching an unsafe level of pressure, as might occur with a thermal event that heats up a tank. In the event of a thermal event, the thermal PRD may not vent properly, which increases the likelihood of a CNG tank over-pressurizing and rupturing. A tank rupture creates an increased risk of injury to the truck occupants, firefighters, or bystanders.

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.
