NHTSA Mandated Recalls
  • Recall 72742 [USA]: A leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the hot surfaces of the exhaust gas recirculation system, which could result in an engine fire.
    On certain trucks equipped with aset ac model engines, the engine as configured with an external exhaust gas recirculation system makes servicing the fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. Therefore, it is possible for fuel leaks to develop when removing and installing the fuel injection lines.
    dealers will replace the fuel injection lines free of charge. Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign conducted in 2006 (please see 06v392). The recall began on september 11, 2007, with subsequent mailings every six weeks until april 2008. Owners may contact mack at 800-528-6586.
    mack recall no. SC0324.Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 37514 [USA]: This could potentially result in an engine fire.
    On certain trucks, a leak in the aset ac fuel injection line may spray fuel on the exhaust gas recirculation pipes that carry hot exhaust gases .
    mack has issued a stop work on this campaign under further notice (2-22-2007). The remedy does not adequately address the issue on all vehicles. Mack will re-release the recall in the near future. (please see nhtsa no. 07v159/mack recall no. Sco323 for vehicles that have had this repair already performed.) this recall has been superseded (please see 07v401/sC0324).
    mack trucks recall no. SC0317.Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration?S vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 55182 [USA]: If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire.
    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.
    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. Owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.
    mack trucks recall no. SC0292.Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 2007278 [Canada]: Brakes
    On certain trucks, the engine configuration makes servicing fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. It is possible for fuel leaks to develop following recall campaign 2006258 (mack sC0317) or when line removal is required to gain access to other engine components. Underhood fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: dealers will install an updated fuel injection line that offers better clamping surface when torqued. This will be done using specially designed tools to ensure correct torque is applied.

  • Recall 2006258 [Canada]: Fuel supply
    On certain trucks, a leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the exhaust gas recirculation (egr) pipes. The hot egr pipes could ignite the fuel, causing an underhood fire. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the fuel injection lines. A protective sleeve will be installed over the lines. Note: recall cancelled, see tc 2007102

  • Recall 2005009 [Canada]: Fuel supply
    On certain vehicles, the location of the fuel hose used on the aset ac engine may result in overheating and/or abrasion of the hose, which may lead to a premature failure. If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel inlet hose.
