What this recall means for you
A brake control valve on these Mack trucks can develop an air leak into the attached exhaust hose. The leaking air can create excessive back pressure, which may cause the parking brake to release unexpectedly.
If the parking brake releases on its own, the vehicle may roll away, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this hazard, especially when parking on any incline.
Dealers will remove the exhaust tube and fitting from the valve at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed February 8, 2022. To confirm whether your vehicle is included, check your VIN for open recalls or contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177, referencing recall SC0433.
