- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2024 MD vehicles. An incorrectly assembled high voltage connector could prevent the mechanical connector lock from properly engaging, allowing the high voltage cable to loosen.
- What it can cause
- A loose high voltage cable can cause a sudden loss of steering and drive power, increasing the risk of crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will inspect and repair the mechanical connector lock as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 10, 2024. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0467.
- 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.safercar.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 24 vehicles this is a small campaign: 85% 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 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 17 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V399000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V666000 (seat belts), 25V427000 (vehicle speed control), 24V399000 (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 16, 2024 as campaign 24V447000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
