NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V025000
Manufacturer: Mack Trucks, Inc.
Manufacturer Campaign Number: SC0387
Manufactured Begin Date: May 20th, 2014
Manufactured End Date: March 24th, 2015
Date of Owner Notification: March 20th, 2015

Defect Summary:
Mack Trucks, Inc. (Mack) is recalling certain model year 2015 and 2016 CXU and LEU trucks manufactured May 20, 2014, to March 24, 2015, equipped with certain Haldex Life Seal Type 30/30 Long Stroke Air Brake Actuators manufactured from January 9, 2014, through February 3, 2015.
