Campaign:
11V272000 on 05/05/2011
Component:
Service brakes, air:slack adjusters:automatic
Manufactured:
10/14/2010 - 01/30/2011
Affected:
1,524
Defect:
Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 chu, cxu, gu, leu and mru trucks manufactured from october 15, 2010, through january 31, 2011, and equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters. due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
Consequence:
Slack adjusters with this flow notch could crack under normal braking conditions causing loss of braking which could result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Mack trucks will notify owners and dealers will replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. the safety recall began on august 24, 2011. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Component:
Power train:driveline
Affected:
584
Defect:
Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2012, chu, cxu, gu, mru, leu, and td trucks equipped with a meritor driveline. the tubing used to assemble the affected drivelines has a nonconforming seam weld with insufficient bonding of the material.
Consequence:
This can result in seam weld fracture when torque is applied. once the tube seam weld is fractured, the driveline may become inoperable which may result in a disabled vehicle or debris from the driveline may fall on the roadway, both of which can increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the drivelines free of charge. the safety recall began on july 25, 2011. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-528-6586.
Notes:

Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 cxu trucks manufactured from may 1, 2010, through january 31, 2011. during the coupling process, it is possible for the driver to partially close the fifth wheel lock and if solely relying on a tug test (pull test), the driver may think that the fifth wheel lock is properly coupled to the trailer king pin when in fact it is not properly coupled.
Consequence:
If the driver drives away with a trailer that is not properly coupled, the trailer can come loose and potentially result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Mack trucks will notify owners and dealers will replace the lock bar free of charge. the safety recall began on december 7, 2011. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-866-1177.

Consequence:
If this occurs, under certain driving conditions the driver's visibility will be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Mack will notify owners, and replace the hardware on affected vehicles, free of charge. the safety recall began on august 22, 2012. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-866-1177.

Consequence:
Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Correction:
Mack has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the epdm. if contamination has occurred, dealers will replace the epdm and address the leak, free of charge. owners of model year 2010-2012 chu, cxu, gu and td vehicles were initially notified april 24, 2014. owners affected by the recall expansions were notified in february 2015. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-336-393-2000. mack's number for this recall is sc0375.

Consequence:
A blocked reflector makes the truck-tractor less visible when operating the vehicle without a trailer in the dark, increasing the risk of a crash.
