What this recall means for you
An electrical overload can cause the light control module to fail on certain 2018 heavy trucks. When it fails, the exterior lights, interior dashboard lights, and windshield wipers can stop working.
Losing exterior lighting, dashboard lighting, or windshield wiper function raises the risk of a crash, because other drivers may not see the truck and the driver may lose visibility in bad weather. Owners should have the repair done promptly.
The remedy is free. Mack will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace and reprogram the light control module at no charge. Owners can call Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 (Mack recall number SC0409), and can check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.
