STEERING
The power steering assist cylinder may separate from the steering arm, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
6 safety recall campaigns, 1 carrying NHTSA's "park it" advisory.
1 campaign covering the 2024 MACK LR 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.
The power steering assist cylinder may separate from the steering arm, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
An inoperative methane detector can fail to detect a gas leak, increasing the risk of a fire or injury.
An engine that does not return to idle quickly enough can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The pedestal may buckle during a crash, preventing the passenger seat from properly restraining a passenger.
Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
A vehicle with an inoperative horn cannot alert other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2024 MACK LRs 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.
