OCTOBER 2009
-- Mack Trucks is recalling
certain model year 2008-2010
trucks which fail to comply
with the requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 121, "Air Brake
Systems." Mack has not yet
provided a consequence.
Dealers will rework the air
system free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to
begin during November 2009.
Owners may contact Mack
Trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
09V-395
JUNE
2009 -- Mack is
recalling 338 model year
2009 MRU and LEU heavy duty
trucks manufactured from
August 20 through November
26, 2008 equipped with
certain Haldex quick release
valves (QRV). The rubber
diaphragm inside the QRV may
experience delamination
resulting in significant
levels of air pressure
leakage past and/or through
the diaphragm, or the
development of a bubble in
the diaphragm which may trap
air pressure in the valve
and not allow the service
brakes to release.
Malfunction of the air brake
system could result in a
vehicle crash. Mack will
notify owners and repair the
affected vehicle free of
charge. The safety recall is
expected to begin on or
about July 13, 2009.
09V-194
JUNE
2009 -- Mack is
recalling 10,300 Model Year
2004 and 2005 CL, CV, DM,
LE, and RB and Model Year
2004 RD heavy trucks
manufactured from October 1,
2003 through September 30,
2004, equipped with axle
beams manufactured by Bharat
Forge. The axle beam may
have transverse shear lines
on the bottom of the axle
from the trimming process.
These lines, if present, can
promote initiation of
cracks, which over time may
possibly lead to axle beam
failure and a vehicle crash
can occur. Mack will notify
owners, inspect and replace
any affected axle beams free
of charge. The safety recall
is expected to begin
duringJuly 2009. 09V-240
DECEMBER
2008 -- Mack is
recalling 34,269 MY
1999-2005 CX and MY
2004-2008 CXN trucks. The
headlight switch may
prematurely fail resulting
in inoperative or
intermittent headlights.
This could potentially cause
a crash while driving at
night. The headlights may
not operate properly which
could result in intermittent
or no headlight function.
This could impair a driver's
visibility, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers
will replace the headlight
switch. The recall is
expected to begin on or
about February 27, 2009.
