Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2021 Granite vehicles equipped with specific SL2065 steerable lift axles. The recall addresses a defect where the lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.

The short screws can cause the hardware to separate from the suspension system and become a road hazard, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 30, 2021.

Mack Trucks will inspect the suspension system and replace the lower rear pivot cap screws, as necessary, free of charge. Owners may contact Mack Trucks' customer service at 1-800-866-1177 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
