- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling one 2021 truck. The coolant line in the high voltage battery pack may not be fully seated and locked, which can result in the loss of coolant and an electrical short circuit.
- What it can cause
- A battery short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Mack will inspect the battery packs, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The affected vehicle was within the manufacturer's control, has been repaired, and therefore no owner letters were mailed. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177.
- 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 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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 one model year, 2021, 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 electrical system 9 times before this, most recently in April 2017 as 17V261000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V204000 (steering).
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 September 21, 2022 as campaign 22V706000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
