2014 Mack Granite (gu) recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2014 Granite (GU) trucks manufactured January 1, 2013, to October 16, 2013, and equipped with certain drive axles manufactured by Marmon-Herrington. The affected axles are equipped with hex nuts on the flange yoke that may not have been properly tightened.

💥 The risk

If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the hex nut, tightening it to proper torque, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0397.

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.)
