RECALL INFORMATION

(November, 2021)

MackeBay has determined that certain model year 2021 trucks may have been built with a defective power steering pump. The possible defect in the power steering pump could cause it to leak power steering fluid. If this happens, there could be a loss of power steering assist. A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Mack TruckseBay has not received any complaints or reports of vehicle crashes because of this issue.

To ensure that these vehicles meet MackeBay’s stringent safety standards, the replacement of the power steering pump will be required.
