2015 Mack CHU & 2015 Mack Granite (gu) + 1 more recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2015 CHU, CXU, and GU trucks manufactured June 4, 2014, through June 18, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the bolts that attach the seat belt to the seat frame may not have been torqued to the required specification. This could cause the bolts to loosen over time, allowing the seat belt to detach.

💥 The risk

If the seat belt detaches from its mounts, the seat belt would fail to properly restrain to the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury in the the event of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the bolts to the required specification, free of charge. The recall began in October 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0383.

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.)
