- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2022-2023 LR battery electric trucks. The rivnut threaded inserts inside the high-voltage battery may be over-tightened and break, which could result in a short circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the batteries, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed November 1, 2023. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0447.
- 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 11 vehicles this is a small campaign: 91% 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, 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 14 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V402000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V402000 (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 July 24, 2023 as campaign 23V514000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
