How we calculate this
Each year receives a composite risk score based on NHTSA owner complaints, federal recalls, safety investigations, and technical service bulletins. Years scoring more than 2x the model's average are flagged as “years to avoid.” Years in the lowest risk bracket are marked as “best years.” All data is sourced from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Which Mack Ws Years Should You Avoid?
The Mack Ws shows relatively consistent reliability across model years, with no single year standing out as significantly worse than others.
