Mack Trucks Recalls 2015 Granite Trucks Due to Fuel Filter Defect

Mack Trucks is recalling 2015 Granite trucks because a fuel filter defect may cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel filter separation) that causes the engine to stall without warning, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash. This aligns with the rubric criterion for 'structural vehicle defect' or 'significant injury/property-damage reports' (implied by crash risk), warranting a score of 4.

Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Mack Granite (GU) trucks manufactured between April 28, 2014, and June 19, 2014. The recall involves 78 vehicles equipped with Cummins ISL engines that may have Fleetguard UFF-XT fuel filters (part number FF63009).

The defect involves the filter shell potentially separating from the fuel filter nut plate. This separation can cause the engine to stall without warning. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Cummins will notify owners, and Cummins Service Centers will replace the fuel filter with a non-defective one free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586 (Mack recall number SC0384) or Cummins customer service at 1-800-223-4583. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
