The problem

Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Granite 4X2 trucks manufactured September 17, 2009, to July 31, 2015. Due to a brake imbalance between the steer and drive axle brakes, the rear brakes may overheat.

The risk

If the rear brakes overheat there would be an increased risk of a tire blowout or a wheel-end fire.

The fix

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace either the brake chambers on the steer axles or the drive axles to correct the imbalance, free of charge. The recall began on January 27, 2016. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0398.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
