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.

September 5, 2007NHTSA 07V40100035,649 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, diesel

Summary
On certain trucks equipped with aset AC model engines, the engine as configured with an external exhaust gas recirculation system makes servicing the fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. Therefore, it is possible for fuel leaks to develop when removing and installing the fuel injection lines.
Consequence
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.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel injection lines free of charge. Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign conducted in 2006 (please see 06V392). The recall began on September 11, 2007, with subsequent mailings every six weeks until April 2008. Owners may contact mack at 800-528-6586.

October 13, 2006NHTSA 06V39200040,204 vehicles potentially affected

Fuel system, diesel

Summary
On certain trucks, a leak in the aset AC fuel injection line may spray fuel on the exhaust gas recirculation pipes that carry hot exhaust gases.
Consequence
This could potentially result in an engine fire.
Remedy
Mack has issued a stop work on this campaign under further notice (2-22-2007). The remedy does not adequately address the issue on all vehicles. Mack will re-release the recall in the near future. (please see NHTSA no. 07V159/mack recall no. SCO323 for vehicles that have had this repair already performed.) this recall has been superseded (please see 07V401/SC0324).

July 7, 2005NHTSA 05V312000100 vehicles potentially affected

Suspension

Summary
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
Consequence
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on August 19, 2005. Owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.

Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

Summary
On certain heavy duty class 8 diesel trucks equipped with aset AC engines, the location of the fuel inlet hose may result in overheating or abrasion of the hose, which may lead to a premature failure.
Consequence
If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire.
Remedy
Dealers will repair and replace the fuel inlet hose free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2005. Due to some quality and supply issues with parts to support this safety recall, owners may have been informed during April 2005,that the safety recall was on hold. These issues have now been resolved. For owners who have not had their vehicle(s) repaired, contact a mack parts and service center immediately to schedule an appointment to have your vehicle(s) repaired. Owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.
