2008 Mack CHU & 2008 Mack GU recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the nut used to retain the steering shaft may or may not be a lock nut that has the locking feature. A lock nut is required to provide additional resistance to ensure that the nut does not come loose.
💥 The risk
If the nut were to come loose and be left untreated, the steering shaft could potentially separate increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the steering shaft pinch bolts and locknuts free of charge. The recall began on august 24, 2007. Owners may contact mack trucks 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.)
