2019 Mack Lr Recall

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 a small number of trucks, the steering transfer case was not properly filled with oil. As a result, the bearings may fail and the steering could lock-up.

A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.

Mack will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the steering transfer case. To reduce the safety risk, Mack recommends that you should avoid driving your truck until this recall is completed.

Certain trucks were equipped with Bridgestone M864, M860A or M854 wide-base tires, size 425/65R22.5, that may not conform to the endurance testing requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 119 - Tires for vehicles other than passenger cars. A manufacturing problem could cause a bulge or blister to be present in the sidewall of the tires. Over time, this could cause deterioration of the tire’s structure and lead to a sudden tire failure that may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace affected tires as necessary.

A failure of this component (tires) 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).
