The problem
Mack is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 leu and model year 2011-2012 mru vehicles, manufactured from may 14, 2009, through october 31, 2011, and built to operate on compressed natural gas. On these vehicles the alternator ground cable runs directly to the starter, which defeats the circuit protection.
The risk
In the event of an electrical short, a vehicle fire may result.
The fix
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the alternator ground cable to the engine ground stud. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on april 19, 2012. Owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-866-1177.
