EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2015-2023 GU and GR vehicles. The turn signals may be positioned incorrectly, reducing their visibility. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Low turn signal visibility may not alert other drivers to a turning vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will add additional turn signal lighting, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 25, 2024. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0448.
- 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 27,418 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 11 times before this, most recently in December 2019 as 19V895000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V867000 (service brakes, air), 25V666000 (seat belts), 24V792000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V773000 (tires).
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 August 25, 2023 as campaign 23V600000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
