The problem
Mack is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2011 gu and mru model vehicles manufactured with a front tow glad hand option. The actuation and release timing of the vehicles exceeds the limit which fails to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems."
The risk
If the brakes do not perform as they should, a vehicle crash could occur.
The fix
Mack will notify owners and repair the vehicle free of charge. The safety recall began on february 1, 2011. Owners may contact mack at 1-877-800-4945.
