Plain-English summary
Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2011 CXU and Pinnacle (CXU) heavy trucks manufactured between August 12, 2009, and August 31, 2010. The recall involves 1,760 vehicles. The defect concerns the rear hold-down brackets that secure the battery box lid, which may be rotated too far forward. This rotation can restrict the battery box lid from properly seating.
If the lid does not seat properly, it may come off when a person steps on the step, which could cause the person to fall from the vehicle and result in personal injury. No specific number of reported injuries or accidents is provided in the source text.
Owners should contact Mack Trucks at 1-800-866-1177 to schedule a free inspection and adjustment of the rear hold-down brackets. The safety recall began on December 1, 2010. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
