2008–2012 Mack LEU & 2008–2012 Mack MRU recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

Mack trucks is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 MRU and LEU heavy trucks manufactured from january 3, 2007, through february 3, 2011. The electrical circuitry in these vehicles may not provide adequate overcurrent protection.

💥 The risk

In the event of an electrical overage, the fuse that should prevent the over current from reaching the mirror switch circuit may fail, such that the mirror switch CAN overheat. An overheated switch could cause a vehicle fire.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will install a relay harness to prevent the mirror switch from overheating. They will also inspect the mirror switch and if signs of overheating are shown, replace that switch. All inspections and repairs will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on june 30, 2011. Owners may contact mack trucks 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.)
