United States
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownVISIBILITYUS
LACK OF REFLECTORS COULD LEAD TO REDUCED VISIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERYUS
IF THIS OCCURS, THE BATTERY BOX LID MAY COME OFF WHEN STEPPING ON THE STEP, WHICH MAY CAUSE A PERSON TO FALL FROM THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY.

- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPOWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)US
IF THE WELD FAILS, THE PEDAL SHAFT MAY WORK ITS WAY LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO FALL TO THE FLOOR, WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE DRIVER'S CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SLACK ADJUSTERS:AUTOMATICUS
SLACK ADJUSTERS WITH THIS FLOW NOTCH COULD CRACK UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownTRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLYUS
IF THE DRIVER DRIVES AWAY WITH A TRAILER THAT IS NOT PROPERLY COUPLED, THE TRAILER CAN COME LOOSE AND POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIRUS
Overheated brake components could result in a fire.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownEXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNITUS
A failure of the hazard warning lights could reduce the trucks visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownTRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLYUS
If the fifth wheel and locking mechanism are sufficiently damaged, the locking mechanism may fail to operate as intended and the trailer may unexpectedly detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownEXTERIOR LIGHTINGUS
A blocked reflector makes the truck-tractor less visible when operating the vehicle without a trailer in the dark, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownELECTRICAL SYSTEMUS
Deposits of contaminants may result in the circuits being bridged, creating a high resistance short, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownVISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGESUS
IF THIS OCCURS, UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPOWER TRAIN:DRIVELINEUS
THIS CAN RESULT IN SEAM WELD FRACTURE WHEN TORQUE IS APPLIED. ONCE THE TUBE SEAM WELD IS FRACTURED, THE DRIVELINE MAY BECOME INOPERABLE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DISABLED VEHICLE OR DEBRIS FROM THE DRIVELINE MAY FALL ON THE ROADWAY, BOTH OF WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownTRAILER HITCHES:FIFTH WHEEL ASSEMBLYUS
An inadvertent decoupling of the trailer from the tractor may increase the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPOWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFTUS
If he cap nut loosens and falls off, the yoke can separate from the axle input shaft and allow the drive shaft to disconnect, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSUSPENSION:FRONT:HUBUS
Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSUSPENSION:FRONTUS
The improperly heat treated axles may fracture, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPOWER TRAIN:AXLE HUBSUS
If the nut comes loose, the hub assembly may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKESUS
A loss of brake function at one wheel will lead to increased stopping distances and pulling to the left or right when braking, which may increase the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownFORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROLUS
If the driver is not warned of something being in the truck's path, there is an increased risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CHAMBERUS
Contamination of the calipers may cause a loss of brakes on one wheel, lengthening the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSEAT BELTSUS
If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESELUS
Without a system to control the engine speed, if airborne hydrocarbons (combustible vapors) enter through the air intake, excessive engine speed may result in a catastrophic engine failure and/or engine fire.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANKUS
The undersized air brake supply reservoir may provide an insufficient air supply to properly operate the brakes during repetitive brake applications, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSTEERINGUS
A loose steering shaft would result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANKUS
If the truck unexpectedly requires extra distance to stop, there is an increased risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINEUS
The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSERVICE BRAKES, AIRUS
Without a pressure relief valve, the air tank could rupture from being overpressurized increasing the risk of injury.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSEAT BELTSUS
If the seat belt detaches from its mounts, the seat belt would fail to properly restrain to the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury in the the event of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPARKING BRAKE:DRIVELINE:HYDRAULIC:ACTUATORUS
If the diaphragm is not completely attached, there may be internal leakage from the service section past the diaphragm, potentially trapping air pressure in the parking brake section. This air pressure in turn, if not vented, may prevent full release of the actuator unit, and may induce brake drag and may result in overheated wheelend service brakes, increasing the risk of a fire.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownENGINEUS
If the Automatic Shut-down Protection System does not operate as expected, the operator may be unable to control the increase in the engines rpms, increasing the risk of engine failure and vehicle fire.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSTEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLYUS
If the ball sockets come loose from the tie rod, a complete loss of steering may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSUSPENSION:FRONTUS
Fracture of the axle beam can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownSTEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLYUS
If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle, causing a complete loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownTIRES:TREAD/BELTUS
Partial tread separation can increase the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownINTERIOR LIGHTINGUS
Loss of lighting or windshield wiper function can increase the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownPOWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLYUS

- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWAREUS
A vehicle that drifts out of its lane increases the risk of a crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownVISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIORUS
If the mirror detaches from the door, the mirror may strike another vehicle or pedestrian, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownEXTERIOR LIGHTINGUS
If the reflectors are blocked, the vehicle's visibility to other drivers may be reduced, increasing the risk of crash.
- Mack PINNACLE (CXU)date unknownWHEELS:HUBUS
A separated hubcap can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
