2011 MACK PINNACLE (CXU); 2011 MACK PINNACLE (CHU)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2011 CHU and CXU heavy trucks manufactured between July 13, 2010, and August 13, 2010, that were built without rear mud flap hanger brackets. These vehicles may lack the rear reflective treatment (conspicuity treatment) that is required by federal safety standards. Without these reflectors, the trucks may be less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact Mack Trucks at 1-800-866-1177. According to the recall notice, dealers will inspect and install the required conspicuity treatment free of charge as part of this safety recall, which began on February 2, 2011.
