Recalls
3 recalls name the 2003 Mack Chn. Newest first.
On certain trucks equipped with aset ac model engines, the engine as configured with an external exhaust gas recirculation system makes servicing the fuel injection lines difficult when using traditional tools. therefore, it IS possible for fuel leaks to develop when removing and installing the fuel injection lines.
Risk and remedy
Risk
A leak in the fuel injection line may spray fuel on the hot surfaces of the exhaust gas recirculation system, which could result in an engine fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel injection lines free of charge. note: this recall supersedes a previous campaign conducted in 2006 (please see 06v392). the recall began on september 11, 2007, with subsequent mailings every six weeks until april 2008. owners may contact mack at 800-528-6586.

Risk and remedy

On certain heavy duty class 8 diesel trucks equipped with aset ac engines, the location of the fuel inlet hose may result in overheating or abrasion of the hose, which may lead to a premature failure.
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the hose fails, fuel can be sprayed on the exhaust manifold, which could potentially lead to an engine compartment fire.
Remedy
Dealers will repair and replace the fuel inlet hose free of charge. the recall began on february 14, 2005. due to some quality and supply issues with parts to support this safety recall, owners may have been informed during april 2005,that the safety recall was on hold. these issues have now been resolved. for owners who have not had their vehicle(s) repaired, contact a mack parts and service center immediately to schedule an appointment to have your vehicle(s) repaired. owners may contact mack trucks at 610-709-2131.
