The problem
Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 chu, cxu and gu heavy trucks manufactured from july 12, 2010, through july 23, 2010 for a potentially defective weld on the shaft that the clutch pedal attaches to.
The 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.
