Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

The driveshaft to the front driving axle is secured to a bracket using two pillow blocks. These blocks are of insufficient strength to support the driveshaft and could fail.

Possible consequence

Pillow block failure allows the driveline (jackshaft)to drop down onto the roadway and create a safety hazard to other vehicles.

Remedy

Mack will install thicker pillow blocks and support u-bolts.
