Mack CXU recalls

  • Recall 15V025000Jan 22, 2015349 vehiclesModel years 2016

    Risk: If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • Recall 14V205000Apr 18, 20141,342 vehiclesModel years 2010

    Risk: A blocked reflector makes the truck-tractor less visible when operating the vehicle without a trailer in the dark, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 14V208000Apr 18, 201444,047 vehiclesModel years 2010

    Risk: A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 14V078000Feb 21, 201470,208 vehiclesModel years 2008–2010

    Risk: Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fire.

  • Recall 12V434000Sep 6, 20123,864 vehiclesModel years 2007–2010

    Risk: If the low beam headlights go out, the driver may lose visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V370000Jul 21, 2011475 vehiclesModel years 2010

    Risk: If the weld fails, the pedal shaft may work its way loose and potentially cause the clutch pedal to fall to the floor, which would limit the driver's control of the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 11V209000Mar 31, 2011808 vehiclesModel years 2009–2010

    Risk: The bolts may fail and could result in the fifth wheel coming loose causing the trailer to separate from the tractor increasing the risk of a crash.

  • Recall 10V536000Oct 27, 20101,760 vehiclesModel years 2010

    Risk: If this occurs, the battery box lid may come off when stepping on the step, which may cause a person to fall from the vehicle resulting in personal injury.
