2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU) Complaints and Recall Information
The 2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU) has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to vehicle system recalls rather than direct complaints.
There are five recalls affecting a range of vehicle systems including electrical wiring, air brake supply, suspension components, and the driveline. Each recall addresses safety-related defects that might increase the risk of a crash if not repaired.
Recalls- Electrical system wiring. NHTSA recall 15V522000 affects 62 vehicles. The chassis harness and air lines may not be properly clipped, which can cause cables and air lines to become tangled in the driveline, potentially impacting the electrical and braking systems. Mack will inspect and properly secure the harness and air lines free of charge.
- Service brakes air supply hoses. Also under recall 15V522000 affecting the same 62 vehicles, the air lines issue can impair braking performance by allowing them to become entangled with the driveline. Repairs involve securing the air lines properly at no cost to owners.
- Air brake supply reservoir. Recall 19V107000 applies to 9 vehicles. The air brake supply tanks are undersized and may fail to hold enough air for proper brake function during repeated use. Mack offers an additional air tank installation to restore compliance with federal safety standards.
- Front suspension hubs. Recall 16V929000 covers 200 vehicles. The front wheel hubs cannot support the maximum front axle weight, which risks premature hub and bearing failure and possible hub separation. The fix involves hub assembly replacement at no charge.
- Driveline driveshaft cap nut. Recall 16V099000 affects 33,981 vehicles. The cap nut securing the driveshaft yoke to the axle input shaft may loosen and detach. This can cause driveshaft disconnection, increasing crash risk. Repairs include cap nut replacement and input shaft inspection or replacement if damaged.
Owners with multiple repairs or unresolved recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Individuals facing these problems should consider consulting an attorney who specializes in consumer and vehicle defect law.

2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU)
9 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
Mack Trucks Inc. (Mack) is recalling one 2014 Pinnacle (CXU) vehicle and certain 2018-2019 Mack Anthem (AN) vehicles equipped with air brake supply tanks that have an air volume amount ranging from 70% to 96% of the amount required by the regulation. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU)
33981 vehicles affected
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2012-2016 Granite (GU), Pinnacle (CHU, CXU), TerraPro (LEU, MRU), Titan (TD), and LR trucks manufactured from September 1, 2011, through September 8, 2015. The cap nut that retains the interaxle driveshaft yoke to the rear axle input shaft may loosen.
Risk: If he cap nut loosens and falls off, the yoke can separate from the axle input shaft and allow the drive shaft to disconnect, increasing the risk of a crash.
2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU)
200 vehicles affected
SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2012, 2014-2015 and 2017 Granite (GU), 2012-2017 Pinnacle (CHU, CXU), and 2013-2015 and 2017 Titan (TD) trucks manufactured January 7, 2011, to September 29, 2016. The affected vehicles were built with front wheel hubs that cannot support the gross axle weight rating of the front axle.
Risk: Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
2015 MACK PINNACLE (CHU)
62 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2015 Titan (TD), model year 2014 and 2015 Pinnacle (CHU), and model years 2009-2010, 2012, and 2014-2016 Granite (GU) trucks. The chassis harness and air lines may not be properly clipped to the crossmember, which can allow the cables and air lines to fall and get twisted in the driveline.
Risk: If the electrical cables and air lines were to fall and get tangled in the driveline, it could affect the electrical system and braking system, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
