2004–2005 Mack CV & 2004–2005 Mack MR + 3 more recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The risk
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
🔧 The fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
