- [2012016](/recalls/tc/2012016.md), 2012-01-19: Suspension. On certain trucks, the front axle beam may have been manufactured incorrectly.  In certain application the load on the axle could allow stress cracks to form which, over time, may cause the axle beam to fail.  This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axle beam.  Note: This campaign also covers MR and LE vehicles previously repaired under recall 2009199 \(Mack SC0341\).
- [2009199](/recalls/tc/2009199.md), 2009-07-07: Suspension. On certain vehicles, the front axle beam may not have been manufactured correctly.  Transverse shear lines on the bottom of the axle could allow cracks to form which, over time, may cause the axle beam to fail.  This could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the axle beam.
- [2003315](/recalls/tc/2003315.md), 2003-12-05: Brakes. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 121 "Air Brake Systems".  Due to improper seating of the check valve retainer in the brass fitting housing, it is possible for the air brake system pressure to push the check valve internal parts into the primary system reservoir and a vehicle operator would not know that this has happened.  In this condition, the vehicle would not meet the emergency requirements of the standard.  Correction:  Dealer will replace the check valve.
