2015-2023 Mack Granite trucks recalled for incorrect turn signal positioning

Mack is recalling certain 2015-2023 GRANITE trucks because turn signals may be positioned incorrectly, reducing visibility. This could prevent other drivers from seeing when the vehicle is turning, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical safety system (exterior turn signal lighting required by federal safety standards). No injuries, deaths, or property damage have been reported. Per the rubric, when no incidents are reported and the hazard is potential rather than realized, the maximum score is 3.

Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2015-2023 GRANITE (GU and GR) vehicles. The turn signals on these trucks may be positioned incorrectly, which reduces their visibility to other road users. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Low turn signal visibility may not adequately alert other drivers when a vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Approximately 27,418 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 25, 2024. The remedy involves dealers adding additional turn signal lighting to the affected vehicles at no charge to owners. Owners can contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177 (Mack recall number SC0448) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) for more information.
