2011 Mack LEU recalls

• Electrical#2017216April 19, 2017

  40 units affected

  Certain vehicles may have been built with an incorrectly sized alternator cable. This could potentially result in the cable overheating, which may increase the risk of a vehicle fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the alternator cable.

• Engine#2015500October 23, 2015

  364 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with natural gas powered engines, the turbocharger oil supply line may make contact with or interfere with one or more of the following: the turbocharger inlet elbow, the OEM clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube. The resulting contact or interference may damage the turbocharger oil supply line, possibly resulting in an oil leak. Oil leaking onto hot engine surfaces could increase the risk of a fire, and could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the oil line.

• Engine#2015348July 31, 2015

  258 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins Westport ISL-G engines, excessive engine crankcase pressure could cause the vent tube assembly elbow to detach from the breather. This could allow engine oil to come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install clamps at both ends of the elbow of the breather tube assembly and reprogram the Electronic Control Module (ECM) to improve diagnostic capabilities.

• Lights And Instruments#2014146April 22, 2014

  5,990 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the directional/hazard signal flasher may fail. Actuation of the turn signal or hazard lights in this condition would cause them to remain illuminated and not flash as intended. As a result, drivers may not be able to clearly signal their intentions to turn, change lanes or warn others in an emergency situation. Correction: Dealers will replace the turn signal/hazard flasher module.

• Engine#2014090March 24, 2014

  157 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins compressed natural gas engines, incorrect engine ECU programming could cause the exhaust system temperature to become elevated during cold weather operation. This could also cause flames to be emitted from the exhaust. As a result, nearby combustible material could be ignited, increasing the risk of a fire, injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Authorized Cummins service facilities will update software programming.

• Engine#2014052February 21, 2014

  123 units affected

  On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins ISL engine, the exhaust pipe may disconnect from the muffler/catalyst. If this occurs on a twin-steer configured vehicle where the vehicle is operated from the right side, the operator may be exposed to carbon monoxide, which could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Correction: Dealers will install a different length exhaust flex pipe and a turbocharger outlet pipe to reduce rigidity of the exhaust to address this condition.

• Electrical#2012095March 8, 2012

  2 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the alternator ground cable was incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. The incorrect connection defeats the intended electrical circuit protection. As a result, an electrical short could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will disconnect the alternator ground cable from the starter and install it on the engine ground stud.

• Suspension#2012065February 20, 2012

  182 units affected

  On certain trucks, the front axle beam may have been manufactured incorrectly. In certain application the load on the axle could allow stress cracks to form which, over time, may cause the axle beam to fail. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axle beam.

• Brakes#2011182May 2, 2011

  329 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the slack adjuster housings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could allow the housings to fracture and fail. As a result, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function, which could increase vehicle stopping distances. Should a steer axle slack adjuster fail, it could also cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking. Either problem could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the slack adjusters.

• Electrical#2011148April 1, 2011

  109 units affected

  On certain vehicles, the rearview mirror switch (mounted on the dashboard) may overheat, causing the plastic to melt. An overheated switch may not allow rearview mirror remote adjustability and, as such, the driver may not have full use of the mirrors. In addition, excessive heat can cause smoke within the instrument panel, which could distract the vehicle operator and result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rearview mirror switch and install a relay wiring harness. Switches that show signs of overheating will be replaced.

• ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE#15V275000May 11, 2015

  Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Mack MRU and LEU trucks manufactured June 25, 2010, to April 30, 2015, and 2015-2016 LR6 trucks manufactured from December 18, 2014 through March 6, 2015. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

  Risk: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there could be an increased risk of a fire.

  Remedy: Cummins will notify owners on behalf of Mack, and Cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ECM) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357.

Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.

  Risk: The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

  Remedy: Cummins and Cummins Westport will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began on March 12, 2014.
