Mack recall: Forward collision avoidance
What is wrong
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 CXU and 2014-2015 CHU trucks manufactured August 23, 2012, through June 27, 2014, and equipped with adaptive cruise control. Due to a software error, the affected vehicles may not provide visual or audible alerts to the driver warning them that an obstruction in the road was detected.
What could happen
If the driver is not warned of something being in the truck's path, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicle control unit, free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0381.
