Summary: On certain trucks equipped with the fxl axle and meritor 16.5 x 5 brakes with dust shields, there may be interference between the dust shield mounting bolt and the knuckle on the front axle. As a result of the interference, the bolt joint between the wheel end and the knuckle may not meet the torque requirements.
Consequence: This could result in vibration or brake performance issues. Braking capability would be diminished, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the hub and brake assembly to install a new dust shield free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2005. Owners may contact mack trucks 610-709-2131.

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.
