Mack Recalls 2024 LR Garbage Trucks Due to Missing Floor Welds

Mack Trucks is recalling 2024 LR garbage trucks because missing floor welds may reduce strength, potentially allowing the passenger seat pedestal to buckle in a crash.

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 (missing floor welds) that could compromise passenger restraint during a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2024 LR garbage trucks. The recall addresses a defect where reinforcing floor welds may be missing from around the passenger seat pedestal, which reduces the floor's strength.

If the floor strength is reduced, the pedestal may buckle during a crash. This could prevent the passenger seat from properly restraining a passenger.

Dealers will inspect the vehicles and add welds as necessary to replace the missing floor welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 12, 2023. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
