FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Issued by Mack Trucks, Inc. · Reported Sep 9, 2014 · 538 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Due to a software error, the affected vehicles may not provide visual or audible alerts to the driver warning them that an obstruction in the road was detected.

Consequence

If the driver is not warned of something being in the truck's path, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicle control unit, free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2014. Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177. Mack's number for this recall is SC0381.
