What happened

Mack Trucks is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 CHU, CXU, GU and TD vehicles produced between October 13, 2006, and October 3, 2014. Water leaks around the windshield can allow contaminants like road salts to deposit on the Electronic Power Distribution Module (EPDM). These deposits may bridge circuits and create a high resistance short, which increases the risk of fire in the affected vehicles.

Mack has notified owners and will have dealers inspect the EPDM at no charge. If contamination is found, dealers will replace the EPDM and repair the leak for free. Owners can contact Mack Trucks at 1-336-393-2000 and reference recall number SC0375 to arrange service.
