2005–2006 Mack CHN recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with fxl axles, there is a potential that the draglink may contact the brake slack adjuster during full wheel cut and articulation of the chassis.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, the slack adjuster may be damaged to a point where brake performance is compromised, which may result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the brake assemblies on the front axle. 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.)
