Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2018 Mack Anthem in Canada.
On certain trucks, some controls are not identified with the required symbol(s) or word(s). Specifically, the identifications for the HVAC fan control, the position side marker light control, the master lighting switch control and the turn signal control may be missing or mislabeled. Canadian regulations require the use of certain symbols and words for controls. This can help to avoid driver confusion.
These small errors do not affect safety or the function of the controls.
This is not a recall. Mack has made changes to ensure that the controls for all new trucks are identified with the required symbol(s) and word(s).
On certain trucks, when the manual override is used to switch off the daytime running lamps (DRLs), the lights may not turn on again when you start driving. Canadian regulations require that if DRLs are manually turned off, they must turn on again when you start driving.
Driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
On certain vehicles, the light control module (LCM) could fail due to a potential electrical overload. If this occurs, it could result in a loss of exterior lighting of the truck and trailer, a loss of certain dash lighting, and the windshield wipers to stop functioning. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace and reprogram the light control module.
A failure of this component (lights and instruments) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
