Fuel System, Diesel
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trucks equipped with aset AC model engines, the engine as configured with an external exhaust gas recirculation system makes servicing the fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. Therefore, it is possible for fuel leaks to develop when removing and installing the fuel injection lines.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
A leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the hot surfaces of the exhaust gas recirculation system, which could result in an engine fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the fuel injection lines free of charge. Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign conducted in 2006 (please see 06v392). The recall began on september 11, 2007, with subsequent mailings every six weeks until april 2008. Owners may contact mack at 800-528-6586.

Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain heavy duty class 8 diesel trucks equipped with aset AC engines, the location of the fuel inlet hose may result in overheating or abrasion of the hose, which may lead to a premature failure.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record

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.
02V321002Received . 64 units.
Service Brakes, Air
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain trucks equipped with manifold dash valves with push to connect fittings used to control the park brake function on trucks and trailers with air brakes, the park knob can pop out unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. This will exhaust the air from the park brake system on the trailer and apply the parking brakes.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If this condition is not noticed, the driver could lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Haldex has notified its customers to make arrangements to have the valve inspected and, if necessary, replaced free of charge. Owner notification is expected to begin during january 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 haldex brake systems at 816-801-2641 or mack at 1-610-709-3337.

- Defect, in the NHTSA record

- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
