Mack Trucks is recalling 2015 Pinnacle (CXU) vehicles because front steer axles may have missed a heat-treating step, potentially causing them to fracture and leading to a loss of vehicle control.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle fracture) that can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects.
Plain-English summary
Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2015 Pinnacle (CXU) vehicles equipped with Meritor FF967 Non Drive Front Steer Axles. The recall involves 8 vehicles. The defect is that the axles missed the heat treating operation during manufacturing, which reduces their strength and may cause the axle beams to fracture.
A fracture of the axle beam can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes are reported in the source text, but the potential for loss of control is a significant safety hazard.
Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 27, 2019. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0419.
