Mack Recalls

Hazard: COMPLETE FRACTURES CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: INADVERTENT BRAKE APPLICATION CAN CAUSE THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT AND LEAD TO A FIRE. INADVERTENT BRAKE APPLICATION CAN CAUSE THE WHEELS TO LOCK-UP LEADING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF COMPLETE FRACTURE OCCURS, THE DRIVER MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE DRIVER DRIVES AWAY WITH A TRAILER THAT IS NOT PROPERLY COUPLED, THE TRAILER CAN COME LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE WELD FAILS, THE PEDAL SHAFT MAY WORK ITS WAY LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO FALL TO THE FLOOR, WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE DRIVER'S CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING MAY OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THIS CAN RESULT IN SEAM WELD FRACTURE WHEN TORQUE IS APPLIED. ONCE THE TUBE SEAM WELD IS FRACTURED, THE DRIVELINE MAY BECOME INOPERABLE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DISABLED VEHICLE OR DEBRIS FROM THE DRIVELINE MAY FALL ON THE ROADWAY, BOTH OF WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: A SHORT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.

Hazard: SLACK ADJUSTERS WITH THIS FLOW NOTCH COULD CRACK UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRICAL OVERAGE, THE FUSE THAT SHOULD PREVENT THE OVER CURRENT FROM REACHING THE MIRROR SWITCH CIRCUIT MAY FAIL, SUCH THAT THE MIRROR SWITCH CAN OVERHEAT. AN OVERHEATED SWITCH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.

Hazard: THE BOLTS MAY FAIL AND COULD RESULT IN THE FIFTH WHEEL COMING LOOSE CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRACTOR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: LACK OF REFLECTORS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED VISIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THIS OCCURS, THE BATTERY BOX LID MAY COME OFF WHEN STEPPING ON THE STEP, WHICH MAY CAUSE A PERSON TO FALL FROM THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Hazard: IF THE BRAKES DO NOT PERFORM AS THEY SHOULD, A VEHICLE CRASH COULD OCCUR.

Hazard: THESE LINES, IF PRESENT, CAN PROMOTE INITIATION OF CRACKS, WHICH OVER TIME MAY POSSIBLY LEAD TO AXLE BEAM FAILURE AND A VEHICLE CRASH CAN OCCUR.

Hazard: FAILURE TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS INCREASES THE APPLICATION AND RELEASE TIME OF THE SERVICE BRAKES, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THESE LINES, IF PRESENT, CAN PROMOTE INITIATION OF CRACKS, WHICH OVER TIME MAY POSSIBLY LEAD TO AXLE BEAM FAILURE AND A VEHICLE CRASH CAN OCCUR.

Hazard: MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: THE HEAD LIGHTS MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN INTERMITTENT OR NO HEADLIGHT FUNCTION. THIS COULD IMPAIR A DRIVER'S VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS STANDARD SPECIFIES REQUIREMENTS FOR REQUIRED ORIGINAL AND REPLACEMENT LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT AND THEIR INSTALLATION. THE PURPOSE IS TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CRASHES, DEATHS AND INJURIES RESULTING FROM CRASHES BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.

Hazard: IF THE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE BECOMES LODGED, IN THE EVENT OF A PRIMARY RESERVOIR FAILURE, AIR PRESSURE CAN LEAK PAST THE LODGED DOUBLE CHECK VALVE THEREBY DEPLETING THE SECONDARY RESERVOIR, CAUSING REDUCED ABILITY FOR MODULATING THE SERVICE EMERGENCY BRAKES INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: AS A RESULT, AN AIR LEAK IN THE SECONDARY OR PRIMARY SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN THE PARK BRAKES INADVERTENTLY APPLYING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THIS COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT DEACTIVATING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED, WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Hazard: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL COULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PIVOT BOLT CAN BECOME LOOSE WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S KNOWLEDGE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE DRIVER COULD DRIVE AWAY AND THE TRAILER COULD BECOME DISENGAGED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE TRANSISTOR OVERHEATS, IT COULD POSSIBLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.

Hazard: A LEAK IN THE FUEL INJECTION LINE MAY SPRAY FUEL ON THE HOT SURFACES OF THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION SYSTEM, WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE.

Hazard: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON. THESE CONDITIONS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY, BRAKE DRAG, OR IN THE CASE OF LOSS OF PRIMARY CIRCUIT, INABILITY TO MODULATE THE SPRING BRAKES.

Hazard: THIS COULD DELAY OR FAILURE IN APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKES WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ROLL AWAY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Hazard: IF THE CONDITION EXISTS AND THE KEY IS LEFT ON WITHOUT FUEL IN THE FILTER, THE HEATING ELEMENT MAY HEAT TO A POINT WHERE A FLAME BECOMES PRESENT AT THE TIP OF THE ELEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
