SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2022 Granite trucks. The air tanks have an insufficient volume of air for the brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Insufficient air volume can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install new air tanks, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SCC 0435.
- 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 14 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% 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 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 28 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V573000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V666000 (seat belts), 24V792000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V773000 (tires), 24V122000 (service brakes, air).
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 May 3, 2022 as campaign 22V295000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
