The problem
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2026-2027 Anthem AN (4) and Pioneer PR (4) vehicles equipped with a tanker application package. Inaccurate axle load calculations may cause reduced braking performance while transporting smoothbore tanker trailers.
The risk
Reduced braking performance can require a greater distance to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install new software to disable the dynamic trailer braking calculations, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 27, 2026. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0500.
