2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019-2020 LR vehicles. The steering transfer case may have an insufficient amount of oil.
Consequence
The internal bearings may fail without sufficient lubrication, causing steering lock-up and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the transfer case, free of charge. Owner notifications letters were mailed on May 12, 2021. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0424.
Defect
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019 Mack Granite (GR), LR, and TerraPro (TE) trucks, equipped with Bridgestone M854 tires with DOT date codes 2418-2518, Bridgestone M860A tires with DOT date code 2518 or Bridgestone M864 tires with DOT date codes 2318-2418, all of size 425/65R22.5. The sidewall steel body cords may be exposed, possibly causing unexpected, rapid air loss while driving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires - Other than Passenger Cars."
Consequence
Rapid tire air loss can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Mack will notify owners, instructing them to take their vehicles to Bridgestone Tire or Mack truck service centers for inspection and replacement, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 19, 2018. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0412.
