STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2023 LR Battery Electric trucks. During certain driving maneuvers, the power steering system may lose pressure, causing a loss of power steering assist.
- What it can cause
- Loss of power steering assist increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers replace the higher ratio steering gear and power steering pump software for higher RPM's on the steering pump, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 24, 2022. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0434.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .

How this campaign compares
At 33 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% 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 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the steering 29 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V856000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V706000 (electrical system).
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 March 29, 2022 as campaign 22V204000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
