What can happen
IF THE PIN WERE TO COME LOOSE, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE COTTER PIN IS MISSING. IF THE PIN IS MISSING, THE COTTER PIN WILL BE INSTALLED. OWNERS ARE BEING ADVISED NOT THE DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE PIN HAS BEEN INSTALLED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 26, 2007. OWNER MAY CONTACT MACK TRUCK AT 1-800-528-6586.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
