Defect summary

Mack Trucks, Inc (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 CXU trucks manufactured February 4, 2011, to December 23, 2014, and equipped with an air release fifth wheel latch. The affected vehicles have a switch to release the fifth wheel latch that may invertently be pushed and cause the trailer to unintentionally disconnect from the tractor after the parking brake has been released.

Consequence

An inadvertent decoupling of the trailer from the tractor may increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will install a secondary action that operators will need to activate before the fifth wheel will release, free of charge. The recall began on May 6, 2015. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-528-6586. Mack's number for this recall is SC0390.
