The short version

Mack Trucks, Inc. reported a problem with the hydraulic actuator. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected actuators may have an incomplete attachment of the internal rubber diaphragm to the actuation mechanism of the parking brake section of the Life Seal actuator.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake actuator and replace, as necessary, free of charge.
