kscarbel Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Heavy Duty Trucking / March 24, 2014A fire risk in some Mack trucks, and braking problems on some International and Caterpillar trucks, have led to recall campaigns.Mack is recalling 16,428 model year 2010-2012 CHU, CXU, GU and TD vehicles manufactured June 16, 2009 through July 18, 2011.In the affected vehicles, the Electronic Power Distribution Module may be contaminated from water leaks in and around the windshield. If exposed to water leaks, contaminants such as road salts may deposit on the EPDM. Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fire.Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the EPDM. If contamination has occurred, dealers will replace the EPDM and address the leak, free of charge. The recall will begin in late April.Owners may contact Mack Trucks at (336) 393-2000. Mack's number for this recall is SC0375._____________________________Mack is also recalling 958 model year 2010-2015 LEU vehicles manufactured May 14, 2009, through Feb. 14, 2014, and equipped with a Cummins ISL engine.In the affected vehicles, the exhaust pipe may disconnect from the muffler/catalyst. If the exhaust pipe separates from the muffler on a twin-steer configured vehicle where the vehicle is operated from the right side, the operator may be exposed to carbon monoxide levels which may cause personal injury.Mack will notify owners. The manufacturer has not yet determined a remedy plan. The recall is expected to begin in late April.Owners may contact Mack Trucks at (336) 393-2000. Mack's number for this recall is SC0376.
