Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling 247 vehicles, including 2026 Anthem and 2025-2026 Pioneer trucks, because the automatic high beam system may fail to switch to low beam headlights when needed. This failure to dim the lights can blind oncoming traffic, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. As a temporary measure, Mack will provide an over-the-air (OTA) software update to disable the automatic high beam feature until a permanent repair is developed.
If the high beams fail to automatically switch to low beams for oncoming vehicles, it reduces visibility for other drivers on the road. This lack of visibility can prevent oncoming drivers from seeing the road or other hazards, leading to a higher risk of a collision.
You have 2 options:
Interim action involving an over-the-air software update to disable the automatic high beam feature.
Final remedy is currently under development.
