Recall 03V147000 · manufacturer campaign SCO279
Exterior Lighting — Mack · reported 14 Apr 2003 · 39 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE VIEW OF ONE OF THE FOUR BACK OF CAB REFLECTORS IS BLOCKED BY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.
The risk
WITH THE RIGHT REFLECTOR NOT BEING VISIBLE, THE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT READILY APPARENT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSTALL TWO ADDITIONAL REFLECTORS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 4, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MACK AT 1-610-709-
MACK RECALL NO. SCO279.CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
