What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, specifically hindering emergency egress which increases injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Mack LEU trucks manufactured between March 31, 2014, and December 12, 2014. The recall involves a defect in the door opening mechanism where a component may be too short. This issue can prevent the door from being opened by someone inside the truck.

If the door cannot be opened from the inside, egress from the vehicle could be hindered, which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace the inner door latches free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2015. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
