Remedy

Mack will notify owners, inspect and replace any affected axle beams free of charge. The safety recall began on august 14, 2009. Owners may contact mack at 1‑800‑866‑1177.

Recall number 09V240000 · Recall details

What is wrong

On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.

Risk

This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on august 19, 2005. Owners may contact mack trucks at 610‑709‑2131.
