  • Brand MACK

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Mack Trucks is recalling certain 2014 CXU and MRU trucks manufactured between August 12, 2013, and October 9, 2013, that are equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. The seat belt buckle's latch plate can remain partially engaged after the release button is pressed, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch and potentially hindering a person's ability to exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency.

Mack will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles at no charge. Owners who believe their vehicle is affected can contact Mack Trucks at 1-336-393-2000 and reference recall number SC0373.
