Defect: ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH PARKER SINGLE CHECK VALVES (SCV) PROVIDED BY BENDIX. THE DEFECT EXISTS IN THE PARKER SCV THAT CONNECTS WITH THE SUPPLY PORT OF THE SR-7 SPRING BRAKE MODULATING VALVE. AFTER PROLONGED USE OF THE PARKER SCV, THE VALVE BODY RETAINER MAY BECOME EXCESSIVELY WORN AND EVENTUALLY BREAK APART. PIECES OF THE PARKER SCV CAN BECOME LODGED INSIDE THE SR-7 SPRING BRAKE MODULA (excerpt)
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE A DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES TO PARK THE VEHICLE AFTER THE OPERATOR PULLS THE DASH VALVE BUTTON. THESE CONDITIONS CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, LEADING TO UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY, BRAKE DRAG, OR IN THE CASE OF LOSS OF PRIMARY CIRCUIT, INABILITY TO MODULATE THE SPRING BRAKES. (excerpt)
Remedy: MACK IS WORKING WITH BENDIX TO REPLACE THE PARKER SINGLE CHECK VALVE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 9, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BENDIX AT 1-440-329-9000 OR MACK AT 1-800-528-6586. (excerpt)

Date: 2005-07-07. Systems: SUSPENSION.
Defect: ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HOLLAND AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, A TRANSVERSE BEAM CASTING MAY FRACTURE UNDER NORMAL LOADS. IF A CASTING BREAKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR PIECES OF THE CASTING TO BECOME PROJECTILES AND THE SUSPENSION'S TRANSVERSE BEAM MAY DROP DOWN LOW ENOUGH TO CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE.
Consequence: THIS WILL CAUSE SPARKS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY IGNITE AND CAUSE A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSVERSE BEAM ASSEMBLIES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MACK TRUCKS AT 610-709-2131.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TORQUE AT THE SUSPECT JOINTS, AND CORRECT IF NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 5, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MACK AT 1-610-709-2131.

Date: 2004-03-04. Systems: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR.
