2022-2023 Mack Granite Trucks Recalled for Insufficient Brake Air Tank Volume

Mack is recalling 2022-2023 Granite trucks because the air tanks lack sufficient volume for proper brake system operation. Insufficient air can reduce braking performance and increase crash risk. Dealers will install replacement air tanks at no charge.

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: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety system (brakes) in violation of federal safety standards. The defect directly reduces braking performance and explicitly creates risk of crash. Although no injuries or deaths have been reported, the rubric criterion for structural vehicle defects with safety implications applies.

Plain-English summary
