2003 Mack CXN recalls
Recall 07V-401: Fuel System, Diesel
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with aset AC model engines, the engine as configured with an external exhaust gas recirculation system makes servicing the fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. Therefore, it is possible for fuel leaks to develop when removing and installing the fuel injection lines.
Risk: A leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the hot surfaces of the exhaust gas recirculation system, which could result in an engine fire.
Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel injection lines free of charge. Note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign conducted in 2006 (Please see 06v392). The recall began on september 11, 2007, with subsequent mailings every six weeks until april 2008. Owners may contact mack at 800-528-6586.
Recall 06V-392: Fuel System, Diesel

Risk: This could potentially result in an engine fire.
Fix: Mack has issued a stop work on this campaign under further notice (2-22-2007). The remedy does not adequately address the issue on all vehicles. Mack will re-release the recall in the near future. (Please see NHTSA no. 07v159/mack recall no. Sco323 for vehicles that have had this repair already performed.) this recall has been superseded (Please see 07v401/sc0324).
Recall 05V-015: Fuel System, Gasoline
Problem: On certain heavy duty class 8 diesel trucks equipped with aset AC engines, the location of the fuel inlet hose may result in overheating or abrasion of the hose, which may lead to a premature failure.
Risk: If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire.
Fix: Dealers will repair and replace the fuel inlet hose free of charge. The recall began on february 14, 2005. Due to some quality and supply issues with parts to support this safety recall, owners may have been informed during april 2005,that the safety recall was on hold.
