STEERING
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2024 LR vehicles. The fasteners that connect the power steering assist cylinder to steering arm may be loose or missing.
- What it can cause
- The power steering assist cylinder may separate from the steering arm, causing a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been performed. Dealers will inspect and tighten the steering gear fasteners and install a new cotter pin, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 15, 2023. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0451.
- 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 one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the steering 33 times before this, most recently in August 2023 as 23V605000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V232000 (electrical system), 23V792000 (vehicle speed control), 23V513000 (structure), 23V465000 (visibility).
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 October 24, 2023 as campaign 23V713000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
