STEERING
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019-2020 LR vehicles. The steering transfer case may have an insufficient amount of oil.
- What it can cause
- The internal bearings may fail without sufficient lubrication, causing steering lock-up and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the transfer case, free of charge. Owner notifications letters were mailed on May 12, 2021. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0424.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 272 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the steering 27 times before this, most recently in December 2019 as 19V896000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Mack Trucks, Inc. with NHTSA on April 26, 2021 as campaign 21V293000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
