What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack Trucks) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Granite vehicles equipped with certain SL2065 steerable lift axles. The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.

The risk

The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The remedy

Mack Trucks will inspect the suspension system and replace the lower rear pivot cap screws, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Mack Trucks' customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack Trucks' number for this recall is SC0426.

Notes

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.nhtsa.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.
