08- Wheels#2026265
71 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the wheel nut(s) could loosen and cause the wheel(s) to detach. Safety Risk: A wheel separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a wheel that separates could create a road hazard for others. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Mack advises you not to drive your truck until the recall repairs have been completed. Mack will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact a dealership to arrange for an inspection of the wheels and hubs. Any damaged parts will be replaced.
- Brakes#2024632
6,855 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, poor signal strength could cause the electronic control unit (ECU) to stop working or not to work properly. As a result, some safety systems may not work, including the antilock braking system, automatic traction control, electronic stability control, active cruise control and the collision mitigation system. Safety Risks: Vehicle safety systems that don't work correctly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mack will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to reprogram the ECU software.
- Lights And Instruments#2022361
4,304 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, some controls are not identified with the required symbol(s) or word(s). Specifically, the identifications for the HVAC fan control, the position side marker light control, the master lighting switch control and the turn signal control may be missing or mislabeled. Canadian regulations require the use of certain symbols and words for controls. This can help to avoid driver confusion. Safety Risk: These small errors do not affect safety or the function of the controls. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Mack has made changes to ensure that the controls for all new trucks are identified with the required symbol(s) and word(s).
- Steering#2022295
258 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the steering gear may not have been assembled correctly. As a result, the steering gear could break and cause a loss of steering. Safety Risk: A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to inspect the serial number on the steering gear, and replace it, if necessary.
- Lights And Instruments#2021616
119 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the tail lamps do not turn on when the daytime running lamps (DRLs) are on. New Canadian regulations require that, if a vehicle has dash backlighting, the low beam headlamps and tail lamps must automatically switch on when it is dark or the tail lamps must stay on at all times. Safety Risk: Driving without tail lamps in low light conditions could make the truck less visible and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
- Wheels#2021343
84 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, the hubcaps may be defective and could come loose or detach while driving. Safety Risk: A hubcap that detaches from the truck could create a road hazard for others. Corrective Actions: Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to remove the hubcaps.
- Lights And Instruments#2021124
4,883 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, when the manual override is used to switch off the daytime running lamps (DRLs), the lights may not turn on again when you start driving. Canadian regulations require that if DRLs are manually turned off, they must turn on again when you start driving. Safety Risk: Driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
- Visual System#2019037
761 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the down-view mirror may detach from the passenger’s door. Safety Risk: A mirror that falls from the vehicle could strike another vehicle or pedestrian. This may create the risk of an injury or crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to secure the mirror. The dealer will add additional fasteners and a reinforcement plate as needed.
