MACK TRUCKS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 CHU, CXU, GU, LEU AND MRU TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 15, 2010, THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2011, AND EQUIPPED WITH GUNITE AUTOMATIC SLACK ADJUSTERS. DUE TO AN INCOMPLETE "KNITTING" OF THE IRON AT THE TIME OF CASTING, INADEQUATE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE SLACK ADJUSTER HOUSING CAN OCCUR, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE HOUSING TO BREAK AT THE HANDLE UNDER NORMAL OPERATING LOADS.
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MACK TRUCKS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012, CHU, CXU, GU, MRU, LEU, AND TD TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A MERITOR DRIVELINE. THE TUBING USED TO ASSEMBLE THE AFFECTED DRIVELINES HAS A NONCONFORMING SEAM WELD WITH INSUFFICIENT BONDING OF THE MATERIAL.

MACK TRUCKS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 CXU TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM MAY 1, 2010, THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2011. DURING THE COUPLING PROCESS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO PARTIALLY CLOSE THE FIFTH WHEEL LOCK AND IF SOLELY RELYING ON A TUG TEST (PULL TEST), THE DRIVER MAY THINK THAT THE FIFTH WHEEL LOCK IS PROPERLY COUPLED TO THE TRAILER KING PIN WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT PROPERLY COUPLED.

MACK IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 CHU, CXU, AND GU VEHICLES, MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 10, 2011, THROUGH NOVEMBER 17, 2011. HARDWARE USED TO SECURE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE TO THE WIPER MOTOR MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY TORQUED, AND MAY CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE TO DETACH FROM THE WIPER MOTOR. AS A RESULT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT FUNCTION.
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 CXU trucks manufactured November 23, 2010, through March 19, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with an MGM Type 24 J-series piston parking brake chamber. In the affected axles, the brake chambers may leak pressure allowing the parking brake to drag when it is supposed to be released. Brake dragging could lead to overheated brake components.
