2006–2007 Mack CV713 recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, an air system hose was installed rather than the required high-pressure power steering hose between the main and slave steering gear.
💥 The risk
The air hose pressure rating is well below that of the power steering hose and may rupture, causing a loss of power assist, which could result in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install the correct power steering hose. The recall began on april 28, 2006. Owners may contact mack at 1-800-528-6586.
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.)
