2017 Mack Titan (TD) recalls
Recall 16V-929: Suspension
Problem: Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2012, 2014-2015 and 2017 Granite (GU), 2012-2017 Pinnacle (CHU, CXU), and 2013-2015 and 2017 Titan (TD) trucks manufactured January 7, 2011, to September 29, 2016. The affected vehicles were built with front wheel hubs that cannot support the gross axle weight rating of the front axle.
Risk: Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hub assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 2017. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0406.
Recall 16V-156: Steering
Problem: Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Titan vehicles manufactured from February 25, 2015, through February 12, 2016. The bolt connecting the upper steering shaft to the lower steering shaft may not properly secure the upper steering shaft, which can lead to separation of the steering shaft.
Risk: Separation of the steering shaft will result in complete loss of steering which may lead to a vehicle crash.
Fix: Mack strongly recommends that the affected vehicles not be driven until the interim remedy is applied. An interim notice was sent to Mack owners on March 21, 2016, and an interim repair is available now. A second notice was mailed on May 12, 2016. The final remedy is now available. Both remedies will be free of charge. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-877-800-4945 opt #1. Mack's number for this recall is SC0401.
