Brakes

Issue Description

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.

Safety Risk

A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Corrective Action & Repair

Fuel System

Issue Description

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

Suspension

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, the rear suspension transverse beam castings were not made to specifications. If a casting were to break when the vehicle is in motion, parts could become projectiles with potential to cause property damage, personal injury or death. Also, the transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface causing sparks that could ignite a fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transverse beams.
