• Recall 42065 [USA]: This could cause the stopping distance to be increased, which could result in a crash.
  Certain trucks fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." the front brake chamber on some 18,000 lb. And 20,000 lb front axle assemblies is too small to meet stopping distance requirements.
  dealers will replace the front brake chambers. The recall began april 21, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3337.

  Certain heavy duty vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." improper seating of the check valve retainer in the brass fitting housing has occurred. It is possible for the air brake system pressure to push the check valve internal parts into the primary system reservoir and a vehicle operator would not know that this has happened.
  dealers will replace the check valve. Owner notification began november 26, 2003. Owners should contact mack at 1-610-709-3337.

• Recall 2009199 [Canada]: Suspension
  On certain vehicles, the front axle beam may not have been manufactured correctly. Transverse shear lines on the bottom of the axle could allow cracks to form which, over time, may cause the axle beam to fail. This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axle beam.

• Recall 2004397 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the steps for operator and passenger ingress/egress of the vehicle were not properly welded to the fuel tank straps. If the pedestal step mounting bracket separates from the fuel tank strap, the operator or passenger could fall from the vehicle when entering or exiting. This could result in personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel tank straps.

• Recall 2003315 [Canada]: Brakes
  Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of cmvss 121 "air brake systems". Due to improper seating of the check valve retainer in the brass fitting housing, it is possible for the air brake system pressure to push the check valve internal parts into the primary system reservoir and a vehicle operator would not know that this has happened. In this condition, the vehicle would not meet the emergency requirements of the standard. Correction: dealer will replace the check valve.

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 mack cv. The contact stated that the side frame rails were breaking. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for further inspection. The failure mileage and current mileages were unknown.

This vehicle is a 2003 mack truck model cv and is a straight frame dump truck with three rear tandem axles. Stopping is achieved through a standard air brake system where compressed air is used as the energy medium. The brake pedal effort of the operator is used only to modulate the air pressure applied to the brake chambers. This truck conforms to the dual brake system. Although the energy source is compressed air, the transmission of energy from the brake chamber to the friction surfaces involves lever arms and cams. The compressed air in the spring brake chamber maintains pressure on the spring during normal operation. When the brakes are activated, the air is relieved allowing the spring to decompress and apply the friction surfaces to the drums through the mechanical linkage. The fire patterns indicate that the fire was localized and originated from friction produced by the brake pads against the drum on the center right rear tandem wheels. The friction produced temperatures in excess of the ignition temperature of the tires causing them to ignite. There was no physical evidence of any electrical failure. The spring brake chamber is identified as mgm 3431157, m092702, 190e 4100 p7. Conclusion the fire was localized and produced by friction. The friction resulted from the brake pads against the drums of the center rear right tandem brakes. This friction produced sufficient temperatures to ignite the tires. The application of the brakes that produced the fire resulted from a failure of the spring brake chamber or its controlling service relay valve. The loss of air pressure resulted in the spring activation of that particular brake. *jb
