Mack Granite (Gu) Recall 15V702: Oil line can leak onto hot exhaust and cause fire

NHTSA campaign 15V702, reported October 26, 2015, 2,571 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A turbocharger oil supply line may touch or rub against nearby parts, including the turbocharger inlet elbow, the clean air intake clamp, or the air fuel control tube. This contact can damage the line and cause an oil leak.

If oil leaks near the engine exhaust manifold, which runs very hot, there is an increased risk of fire. Owners should watch for signs of oil leaks around the engine and seek service promptly if they notice any.

The repair is free at an authorized dealer. The dealer will inspect the oil supply line for interference or damage, remove the interference, and replace the oil supply line if needed. Owners will be notified by Cummins on behalf of Mack, and can call Cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 (Cummins recall number SC0396). The recall is expected to begin November 30, 2015. Check your VIN for open recalls.
