Complaint Information: Recalls, Service Bulletins, OBD II Codes

NHTSA Mandated Recalls
  • Recall 87607 [USA]: The head lights may not operate properly which could result in intermittent or no headlight function. this could impair a driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Mack is recalling 34,269 my 1999-2005 cx and my 2004-2008 cxn trucks. The headlight switch may prematurely fail resulting in inoperative or intermittent headlights.
    dealers will replace the headlight switch. The recall began on february 27, 2009. Owners may contact mack at 1-800-528-6586.
    mack recall no. SC0342.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 90387 [USA]: Loss of steering control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
    On certain trucks, the bolts that attach the steering gear to the frame may not have been tightened to the specified torque.
    dealers will tighten the bolts free of charge. The recall began on december 10, 2007. Owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
    mack trucks recall no. SC0332.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 71558 [USA]: There is a possibility that the pivot bolt can become loose without the driver's knowledge. when this occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged, increasing the risk of a crash.
    On certain trucks equipped with a saf holland simplex fifth wheel, the lever arm pivot bolt may have been over tightened. An over tightened pivot bolt can distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve, which may prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin.
    dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer free of charge. The recall began on january 28, 2008. Owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
    mack trucks recall no. SC0331.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 31989 [USA]: This condition can cause a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button. these conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in the case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes.
    On certain trucks equipped with parker single check valves (scv) provided by bendix. The defect exists in the parker scv that connects with the supply port of the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve. After prolonged use of the parker scv, the valve body retainer may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve.
    mack is working with bendix to replace the parker single check valve. The recall began on january 9, 2008. Owners may contact bendix at 1-440-329-9000 or mack at 1-800-528-6586.
    mack recall no. SC0334 (sC0327).Customers may 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 88385 [USA]: This could delay or failure in applying the parking brakes which could result in a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
    On certain trucks equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the internal rubber check valve may leak causing a delay in the application of the spring brakes to park the vehicle after the operator pulls the dash valve button.
    mack is working with bendix to repair these vehicles (please see 07e037). Bendix will install a check valve repair kit for the affected sr-7 spring brake modulating valve free of charge. The recall began on january 10, 2008. Owners may contact bendix at 1-440-329-9000 or mack at 1-800-528-6586.
    mack recall no. SC0335 (sC0328).Customers may 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 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 2007264 [Canada]: Brakes
    On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: dealers will install a check valve repair kit, and replace the parker single check valve.

  • Recall 2007265 [Canada]: Brakes
    On certain school and transit buses, the parker single check valve (scv) that connects with the supply port of the bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodge inside the sr-7 valve, possibly causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve. This condition can cause a delay in the application of the parking brakes, the spring brakes not fully releasing or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. These conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes. An unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the single check valve (scv).

  • Recall 2007339 [Canada]: Other
    On certain trucks, the fifth wheel hitch assembly's lever arm may have been incorrectly installed during the manufacturing process. The lever arm pivot bolt may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve and prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin. This could allow the towed unit to separate from the towing vehicle while underway, potentially causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer.

  • Recall 2007368 [Canada]: Steering
    On certain trucks, the bolts that attach the steering gear to the frame may not have been tightened to the specified torque. This could allow the bolts to loosen and fall-out, possibly causing a loss of steering control and a crash with injury or death. Correction: dealers will tighten the bolts to specs.
