Recall 05V-312: 2005 Mack CL, 2004–2005 Mack CV and 3 more
MACK TRUCKS, INC recall for suspension, reported to NHTSA on Jul 7, 2005, covering about 100 vehicles.
The problem
On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with holland air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
The risk
This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began on august 19, 2005. Owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.
