Mack recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2015 Pinnacle (CXU) vehicles equipped with Meritor FF967 Non Drive Front Steer Axles. The axles missed the heat treating operation during manufacturing, reducing their strength and possibly causing the axle beams to fracture.
What could happen
Fracture of the axle beam can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. The recall began September 27, 2019. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0419.
