Mack Trucks, Inc. is recalling 36 of its 2026 Mack GR trucks because the steer axle brake drums are incompatible with the axle. This defect fails to meet federal safety standards for air brake systems and can cause the brakes to function poorly or fail. Dealers will replace the steer axle brake drums free of charge to ensure the trucks meet safety requirements.
The incompatible brake parts can cause a loss of braking power, which extends the distance needed to stop the vehicle. This increased stopping distance significantly raises the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of steer axle brake drums.
Recall involves incompatibility between the brake drum and steer axle; manufacturer recall number SC0482.
