• Recall 2008456 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  On certain vehicles, the headlamp switch may fail causing complete or intermittent loss of headlamp function. Should this occur during hours of darkness, it could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the headlamp switch.

• 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.

• Recall 2004046 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, the steering arm could have a longitudinal crack. The crack may intersect the tapered mounting hole where the steering arm ball socket is mounted. If the crack should propagate, the ball stud could become loose causing a loss of steering control, which could result in a crash. Correction: dealer will inspect the integral knuckle and steer arm and replace if necessary.

• Recall 2004341 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, the bolts that mount the steering gear to the frame can fail due to bolt quality issues which cause variation in the torque-tension relationship for the joint. This results in an inconsistent clamp load, which can cause the bolt to be either over-stretched (at or above yield strength) or under-stretched when torqued to specification. Failure of two of the three bolts could result in loss of steering control. Correction: dealers will replace the mounting bolts.

• 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.
