TRUCKS RECALLS USA: * Mack's - ** GM's
* DC - Several Mack Trucks models recalled for power train/steering issue
-- Mack Trucks is recalling certain models in two separate issues filed with the National Highway Safety Administration, according to NHTSA documents... The first recall affects Mack Granite and Mack Terrapro trucks model year 2016-2017. The affected trucks may be missing a roll pin to secure the upper steering yoke to the steering shaft. A complete loss of steering may occur, increasing the chances of a crash... A separate recall affects Mack Granite, Pinnacle CHU, Pinnacle CXU, Terrapro LEU, Terrapro MRU and Titan TD trucks model year 2012-2015 and Mack LR trucks model year 2015. In affected trucks, the cap nut that retains the interaxle driveshaft yoke to the rear axle input shaft may loosen. The driveshaft can possibly disconnect as a result... Mack will notify owners and replace any parts free of charge. The first recall affecting only Granite and Terrapro trucks is expected to begin on March 11. The other recall is slated for April 15...

Some of the 2016 models will also be recalled in Mexico... There have been no reported injuries related to the air bags placed in the steering wheel of the vehicles... GM did not name the supplier of the potentially faulty air bag module, but said it was not made by Takata Corp., which is embroiled in a recall of millions of its air bag inflators... GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson said the issue is not expected to significantly affect sales of the popular midsize pickups or midsize sedan. Any delay in sales is expected to be short-lived, he said. U.S. law keeps dealers from selling a vehicle involved in a recall without fixing it first...
