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.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
