Summary

Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,337 vehicles, including 2025-2027 Pioneer and 2026-2027 Anthem models. The rear brake modulators in these trucks may have unprotected electrical connectors that can short circuit, potentially causing a failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). Dealers will inspect the connectors and install protective covers or replace the modulators if necessary at no cost to owners.
