What is wrong
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Pinnacle (CXU) trucks manufactured from October 3, 2012, through February 18, 2014 and equipped with Meritor air disc brakes. In the affected vehicles, the brake chambers may have been incorrectly mounted resulting in internal contamination of the air brake calipers.

If the washers are in the correct position, no further action is required. If the washers are not located in the correct position, replacement of the disc brake caliper and brake chamber will be performed and the addition of two washers per brake assembly will be installed, free of charge.
