2004–2005 Mack CL & 2004–2005 Mack CV + 5 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Mack is recalling 10,300 model year 2004 and 2005 CL, CV, DM, LE, and RB and model year 2004 RD heavy trucks manufactured from october 1, 2003 through september 30, 2004, equipped with axle beams manufactured by bharat forge. The axle beam may have transverse shear lines on the bottom of the axle from the trimming process.
💥 The risk
These lines, if present, CAN promote initiation of cracks, which over time may possibly lead to axle beam failure and a vehicle crash CAN occur.
🔧 The fix
Mack will notify owners, inspect and replace any affected axle beams free of charge. The safety recall began on august 14, 2009. Owners may contact mack 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.)
