Plain-English summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling certain 2024 Mack Granite vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where bearing journals may not be fully seated in the steering knuckle assembly. This issue prevents the proper installation of the wheel end hub assembly.

An improperly installed wheel end hub assembly can leak oil, causing the axle spindles to loosen or fracture. This condition increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected vehicles is provided in the source text.
