2009 Mack LEU & 2009 Mack MRU recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Mack is recalling 338 model year 2009 MRU and LEU heavy duty trucks manufactured from august 20 through november 26, 2008 equipped with certain haldex quick release valves (qrv). The rubber diaphragm inside the qrv may experience delamination resulting in significant levels of air pressure leakage past and/or through the diaphragm, or the development of a bubble in the diaphragm which may trap air pressure in the valve and not allow the service brakes to release.
💥 The risk
Malfunction of the air brake system could result in a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Mack will notify owners and repair the affected vehicle free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about july 13, 2009. Owners CAN contact mack toll-free at 1-800-866-1177.
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.)
