1. 04V159000Received 7 Apr 2004. 317 units.

   Fuel System, Other / Storage / Tank Assembly / Pressure Relief Devices

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain chassis built with lng engines, the nexgen lng tank's primary and secondary relief valves could fail to open and relieve tank pressure.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This could cause ice buildup on the discharge side of the primary and secondary pressure system allowing the relief system to freeze and become blocked resulting in over pressurization of the lng tanks creating the risk of catastrophic tank rupture which could cause serious injury or death.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will retrofit the lng tanks with a new primary relief valve pipe away tube and a new ventilated shroud. The recall began april 6, 2004. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3337.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INC. Manufacturer campaign number SC0287.

2. 02V037006Received 15 Aug 2002. 2,050 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On some heavy duty class 8 vehicles equipped with arvinmeritor axle assemblies which may have been manufactured with trw model 20edl ball sockets, the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below specification case depth and/or hardness which can lead to premature wear out of the socket in some applications.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If this condition occurs, the driver can lose steering control, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the ball socket assemblies. This campaign will supersede NHTSA recall nos. 01v-140-005 (mack sc0270) and 00v-246-103 (mack sc0262). Owner notification began december 27, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 610-709-3337.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number SC0276. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 27 Dec 2002.

3. 02V019000Received 18 Jan 2002. 869 units.

   Steering / Hydraulic Power Assist / Hose, Piping, and Connections

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain class 8 heavy duty trucks equipped with r. H. Sheppard m90 steering gears, an incorrect hose was used for the high-pressure line between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose is rated at 2000 PSI, while it should be rated at 3000 PSI.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. Should the line burst, steering control would still be maintained, but a loss of power assist will be experienced.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the steering hose. Owner notification began march 22, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number SCO272. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 21 Mar 2002.

4. 01V140005Received 24 Sep 2001. 8,794 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with trw tie rod ends on certain dana/spicer axles (e12001) and mack axles through dana heavy axle (fawl 12). The tie rod and drag link ball stud ends contain bearings that are below the specified case depth and/or hardness.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This can lead to premature wear with possible separation of the ball stud from the socket, increasing the risk of loss of control of the vehicle.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will remove and replace all affected tie rods and drag links with different designed ends. Trucks that have been repaired under recall 00v246103/sc0262 will not be re-recalled. Trucks only inspected and determined to have an acceptable date code under sc0262 will be recalled under this campaign. Owner notification began january 8, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED. Manufacturer campaign number SC0270. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Jan 2003.

5. 01V189004Received 1 Aug 2001. 8,268 units.

   Service Brakes, Air / Controls, Pedals and Linkages

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with certain meritor-wabco brake system two and four port relay valves. The valve may stick open when a high-pressure application is released.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   When the valve sticks open, it can result in a total loss of air from either the service or the park brake system. The driver may lose braking ability under a service application, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace these valves. Owner notification began november 16, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact mack at 1-610-709-3011 or meritor wabco at 800-535-5560.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 16 Nov 2001.

6. 00V230003Received 4 Oct 2000. 45,866 units.

   Vehicle Speed Control / Accelerator Pedal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: class 8 trucks equipped with felsted electronic accelerator pedals. The return springs can break on the accelerator pedals that are equipped with stainless steel or electroplated wire return springs.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition could cause the pedal to go to full throttle if both return springs break, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Replacement accelerator pedals equipped with return springs manufactured of music wire with one additional coil on each spring and with an organic coating, eliminating electroplating will be installed.

   Report filed by MACK TRUCKS, INCORPORATED. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Dec 2000.

7. 00V232009Received 13 Sep 2000. 651 units.

   Service Brakes, Air / Antilock

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with bendix air ABS with an ec-17 1030r electronic control unit (ECU), there have been reports of unwanted ABS activation at low speeds caused by 1) chafed ABS wheel speed sensor wires on rotating parts or 2) a damaged component at the wheel end that generates a certain type of erratic sensor signal.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   This condition could cause the ABS ECU to exhaust the air at the air brake modulators for one or more of the wheels. This could result in extended braking distances and a possible crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the ABS ECU.
