- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2019-2023 LR battery electric trucks. The power cables that connect to the windscreen heater relay may have a loose connection and cause the relay to fail.
- What it can cause
- A relay that fails in the closed position will continue to power the cabin heater, overheating the relay and increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the power cable to relay connection, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 4, 2023. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SCC0444.
- 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 47 vehicles this is a small campaign: 78% 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 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 13 times before this, most recently in May 2023 as 23V310000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V514000 (electrical system), 23V281000 (electrical system), 23V024000 (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 June 4, 2023 as campaign 23V402000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
