- Component:
- Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
- Manufactured:
- 05/18/2003 - 07/10/2003
- Affected:
- 1,232
- Defect:
- Certain heavy duty vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." improper seating of the check valve retainer in the brass fitting housing has occurred. it is possible for the air brake system pressure to push the check valve internal parts into the primary system reservoir and a vehicle operator would not know that this has happened.
- Consequence:
- In this condition, the vehicle would not meet the emergency requirements of the standard.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the check valve. owner notification began november 26, 2003. owners should contact mack at 1-610-709-3337.

- Component:
- Fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices
- Manufactured:
- 04/25/1995 - 02/08/2004
- Affected:
- 317
- Defect:
- On certain chassis built with lng engines, the nexgen lng tank's primary and secondary relief valves could fail to open and relieve tank pressure.
- Consequence:
- This could cause ice buildup on the discharge side of the primary and secondary pressure system allowing the relief system to freeze and become blocked resulting in over pressurization of the lng tanks creating the risk of catastrophic tank rupture which could cause serious injury or death.
- Correction:
- Dealers will retrofit the lng tanks with a new primary relief valve pipe away tube and a new ventilated shroud. the recall began april 6, 2004. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3337.

- Correction:
