What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Mack Trucks Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 CHU, CXU, and MRU, 2007 CT and CV, 2008-2014 GU, and 2011-2014 LEU, and TD trucks manufactured February 28, 2006, through November 8, 2013, and equipped Hamsar Electronic Flasher. The hazard warning lights may fail.

The risk

A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electronic flasher unit, free of charge. The recall will begin by mid-June 2014. Interim letters went out to owners on June 23, 2014. The recall began on July 25, 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-866-298-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0379.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
