What is wrong

Mack is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 gu, manufactured from december 2, 2010, through january 18, 2012, and equipped with bendix atr-6 traction relay valves. In extremely cold conditions, these bendix relay valves may potentially develop internal leakage. Internal leakage can lead to air pressure being delivered to affected primary or secondary brake causing continuous brake application.

What could happen

Inadvertent brake application can cause the brakes to overheat and lead to a fire. Inadvertent brake application can cause the wheels to lock-up leading the driver to lose control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Mack will notify owners, and provide a temporary repair until bendix develops a permanent remedy. This service will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact mack trucks at 1-800-866-1177.
