2008 Mack CHU & 2007 Mack CXN + 1 more recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, an unprotected lead in the thermoswitch of the heater may make contact with another post possibly creating a short circuit, which CAN result in continuous operation of the heating element.
💥 The risk
If the condition exists and the key is left on without fuel in the filter, the heating element may heat to a point where a flame becomes present at the tip of the element which could result in a vehicle fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the thermoswitch and will replace it if necessary. The recall began on september 10, 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.)
