- Campaign:
- 05V312000 on 07/12/2005
- Component:
- Suspension
- Manufactured:
- 12/31/2003 - 03/30/2005
- Affected:
- 100
- Defect:
- On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. if a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
- Consequence:
- This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. the recall began on august 19, 2005. owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.

- Defect:
- Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2002-2005 mr and le heavy trucks, manufactured from february 1, 2002, through december 22, 2004. over time, the vehicle's load may result in fatigue cracks of the front axle beam. these cracks can propagate and result in complete fracture of the axle beam.
- Consequence:
- If complete fracture occurs, the driver may lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- This recall relates to previous recalls 09v-240 and 10v-069. analysis of these recalls has shown that after the receiving the remedies, the axles may still crack. as such, mack trucks will replace the affected axles on any mr and le models configured as front-loader or side-loader refuse trucks. axles on all other mr and le models will receive a mag-particle inspection and mack will replace any affected axle beams free of charge. the safety recall began iin july 2012. owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-866-1177.
