2014–2015 Mack Pinnacle (cxu) recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Mack Trucks Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 CXU trucks manufactured February 1, 2013, through January 27, 2014, and equipped with a vertical wet tank (aka supply air tank) for the brake system. The pressure relief valve may not have been installed in the tank during manufacturing.
💥 The risk
Without a pressure relief valve, the air tank could rupture from being overpressurized increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will install a pressure relief valve in the air tank, free of charge. The recall began on June 11, 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-866-298-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0380.
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.)
