Mack recall: Steering
What is wrong
Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2014 CXU and GU model vehicles manufactured May 10, 2013, through June 12, 2013. The upper and lower steering shaft pinch bolts may have not been torqued to specification. This may cause the steering shaft to come loose.
What could happen
A loose steering shaft would result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Mack Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering shaft pinch bolts and retorque them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 11, 2013. Mack's recall number is SC0372. Owners may contact Mack Trucks at 1-336-393-2000.
