Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

3 campaigns cover this model year — what the defect is, what it could cause, and what the remedy is

23V600000

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

Aug 25, 2023
27,418 units potentially affected
The defect: Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2015-2023 GU and GR vehicles. The turn signals may be positioned incorrectly, reducing their visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk: Low turn signal visibility may not alert other drivers to a turning vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Dealers will add additional turn signal lighting, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 25, 2024. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0448.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB

Dec 23, 2016
200 units potentially affected
The defect: Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2012, 2014-2015 and 2017 Granite (GU), 2012-2017 Pinnacle (CHU, CXU), and 2013-2015 and 2017 Titan (TD) trucks manufactured January 7, 2011, to September 29, 2016. The affected vehicles were built with front wheel hubs that cannot support the gross axle weight rating of the front axle.
The risk: Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hub assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 2017. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0406.

The defect: Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Granite (GU) and TerraPro (MRU) trucks manufactured from November 9, 2015, through January 19, 2016. The affected trucks may be missing a roll pin to secure the upper steering yoke to the steering shaft.
The risk: If the roll pin is missing, the steering shaft may disconnect from the yoke, resulting in a complete loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the steering shaft if the roll pin is missing, free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2016.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
