Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling 5 of its 2024 LR electric garbage trucks equipped with electric horns. The circuit that connects the horn button to the horn is missing, which prevents the driver from using the horn to alert others. Dealers will install the necessary wiring circuits to fix this connection free of charge.

Risk

A driver in a vehicle with a non-functional horn cannot sound an alert to other motorists or pedestrians, which increases the likelihood of a crash.

  2. Contact any authorized Mack Trucks dealer to schedule a service appointment for a free repair; the dealer will add the missing circuits to connect the horn button to the horn.
  3. If you have additional questions, contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 and reference Mack recall number SC443.
