STEERING
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2021-22 Granite, Anthem, LR, Pinnacle, and Terrapro tractor trailers. The steering gears may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gear to fracture.
- What it can cause
- A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the steering gear, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 29, 2022. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0437.
- 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 5,644 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, 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 30 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V204000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V139000 (engine and engine cooling), 25V666000 (seat belts), 25V030000 (service brakes, air), 24V792000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 June 7, 2022 as campaign 22V401000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
