A sudden loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
8 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory, 3 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
1 campaign covering the 2025 MACK GRANITE (GR) carries NHTSA’s “park it” advisory — the federal government telling owners to stop driving the vehicle until the remedy has been performed. Whether it was performed on any particular car is not something NHTSA publishes in a form anyone can query; a franchised dealer can run the VIN and print the record in a minute, and the repair is free.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A sudden loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
Loss of headlight illumination can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
An improperly welded seat belt anchorage bracket can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
An electrical short can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. An electrical short can also cause the cables to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may have diminished or lost functionality, increasing the risk of a crash.
Insufficient tires can fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2025 MACK GRANITE (GR)s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
