SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
- The defect
- Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Mack MD, 2019-2025 Anthem, Granite, 2024 MD Electric, and 2025 Pinnacle trucks equipped with a passenger bench seat. The seat belt anchorage bracket may be improperly welded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- An improperly welded seat belt anchorage bracket can detach during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a reinforcement plate, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 21, 2026. Owners may contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0485. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning October 13, 2025.
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 15,841 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Mack vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 3 times before this, most recently in May 2025 as 25V333000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 22 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, 4 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 36 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V756000 (exterior lighting), 25V521000 (steering), 25V427000 (vehicle speed control), 25V382000 (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 October 6, 2025 as campaign 25V666000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
