There are 6 recalls affecting the 2010 MACK CHU. These recalls address multiple systems such as the fifth wheel assembly, clutch pedal mechanism, exterior lighting circuits, and the electronic power distribution module. Repairs typically involve inspections, part replacements, and electrical harness installations done free of charge by dealers.
- Trailer hitch bolts. Recall 11V209000 affects 808 vehicles due to interference preventing proper bolt torque on the fifth wheel assembly. Bolts may fail causing the trailer to separate from the tractor, increasing crash risk. Dealers inspect and replace bolts as needed.
- Clutch pedal weld defect. Recall 11V370000 covers 475 trucks with a potentially defective weld on the clutch pedal shaft. Failure could cause the clutch pedal to drop to the floor, limiting driver control and raising crash risk. Dealers replace the clutch pedal shaft free of charge.
- Fog light circuit short. Recall 12V434000, affecting 3,864 vehicles, identifies a short that may interrupt the low beam headlights by way of the fog light circuit. Loss of low beam illumination can reduce visibility and increase crash risk. Mack adds a wiring harness to fix the issue.
- Electrical system contamination. Recall 14V078000 involves 70,208 vehicles where water leaks can contaminate the Electronic Power Distribution Module (EPDM). Deposits bridge circuits causing high resistance shorts that raise fire risk. Dealers inspect the EPDM, replace if contaminated, and repair leaks.
- Hazard flasher failure. Recall 14V208000 impacts 44,047 trucks equipped with Hamsar Electronic Flashers. Hazard warning lights may fail, reducing vehicle visibility and increasing crash risk. Dealers replace the flasher unit at no charge.
