Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2024 Mack LR vehicles. The fasteners that connect the power steering assist cylinder to the steering arm may be loose or missing.

If the power steering assist cylinder separates from the steering arm, it can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed.

Dealers will inspect and tighten the steering gear fasteners and install a new cotter pin free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on December 15, 2023. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
