Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2006 Mack Chn in Canada.
On certain trucks, the fifth wheel hitch assembly's lever arm may have been incorrectly installed during the manufacturing process. The lever arm pivot bolt may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve and prevent the fifth wheel latch jaw from closing and latching securely around the trailer king pin. This could allow the towed unit to separate from the towing vehicle while underway, potentially causing a crash with injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the pivot bolt and sleeve with a hex head shoulder bolt and washer.
A failure of this component (other) 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).
On certain trucks, the engine configuration makes servicing fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. It is possible for fuel leaks to develop following recall campaign 2006258 (Mack SC0317) or when line removal is required to gain access to other engine components. Underhood fuel leakage could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will install an updated fuel injection line that offers better clamping surface when torqued. This will be done using specially designed tools to ensure correct torque is applied.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

On certain vehicles, the internal rubber check valve inside the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can become deformed over time. The effect of this defect is intermittent and presents a potential delay or failure in applying the parking brakes; potentially resulting in a vehicle roll away. Should this occur, the unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will install a check valve repair kit, and replace the Parker single check valve.

On certain school and transit buses, the Parker single check valve (SCV) that connects with the supply port of the Bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve may become excessively worn and eventually break apart. Pieces of the Parker SCV can become lodge inside the SR-7 valve, possibly causing either leakage out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve. This condition can cause a delay in the application of the parking brakes, the spring brakes not fully releasing or loss of isolation between the primary and secondary circuits. These conditions can occur without warning, leading to unintended vehicle rollaway, brake drag, or in case of loss of primary circuit, inability to modulate the spring brakes. An unattended roll away vehicle could strike a bystander or cause property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the single check valve (SCV).

On certain trucks, a leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) pipes. The hot EGR pipes could ignite the fuel, causing an underhood fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the fuel injection lines. A protective sleeve will be installed over the lines. Note: Recall cancelled, see TC 2007102

On certain vehicles, the brake cam tubes on the steer axle may not have been greased during vehicle assembly. As a result, the brake cam journal may corrode which may lead to the brakes dragging and could result in a vehicle fire. Correction: Dealers will remove, inspect and service the brake camshaft.
