Has your Mack been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Mack dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

August 15, 2002NHTSA 02V0370062,050 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Linkages › Tie rod assembly

Summary
On some heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with TRW model 20EDL ball sockets, the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.
Consequence
If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. This campaign will supersede NHTSA recall nos. 01V-140-005 (mack SC0270) and 00V-246-103 (mack SC0262). Owner notification began December 27, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 610-709-3337.

January 18, 2002NHTSA 02V019000869 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Hydraulic power assist › Hose, piping, and connections

Summary
On certain class 8 heavy duty trucks equipped with r. H. Sheppard M90 steering gears, an incorrect hose was used for the high-pressure line between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose is rated at 2000 PSI, while it should be rated at 3000 PSI.
Consequence
This hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. Should the line burst, steering control would still be maintained, but a loss of power assist will be experienced.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the steering hose. Owner notification began March 22, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011.

Steering › Linkages › Tie rod assembly

Summary
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with TRW tie rod ends on certain dana/spicer axles (E12001) and mack axles through dana heavy axle (fawl 12). The tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness.
Consequence
This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.
Remedy
Dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends. Trucks that have been repaired under recall 00V246103/SC0262 will not be re-recalled. Trucks only inspected and determined to have an acceptable date code under SC0262 will be recalled under this campaign. Owner notification began January 8, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011.
