EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT
A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
7 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 1 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
A blocked reflector makes the truck-tractor less visible when operating the vehicle without a trailer in the dark, increasing the risk of a crash.
Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fire.
If the low beam headlights go out, the driver may lose visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
IF THE WELD FAILS, THE PEDAL SHAFT MAY WORK ITS WAY LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO FALL TO THE FLOOR, WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE DRIVER'S CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE BOLTS MAY FAIL AND COULD RESULT IN THE FIFTH WHEEL COMING LOOSE CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SEPARATE FROM THE TRACTOR INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Two 2010 MACK CXUs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
