## What is wrong

Mack Trucks, Inc. \(Mack\) is recalling certain 2015\-2018 LR and 2011\-2018 TerraPro \(LEU and MRU\) trucks.  The alternator cable may be insufficiently thick to handle the current, and, as a result, may overheat.


## What can happen

If the alternator cable overheats, it would increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Mack will notify owners, and dealers will replace the alternator cable, free of charge.  The recall began on June 16, 2017.  Owners may contact Mack customer service at 1\-800\-866\-1177.  Mack's number for this recall is SC0407.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
