Ford, Mack Trucks, and Paccar each announced recalls to certain vehicles from their respective company.
Ford is recalling approximately 58,203 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles. Underbody heat and noise insulators may loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft, which could damage the driveshaft and cause it to fracture.
Dealers will inspect and repair the driveshaft, as necessary, and properly attach the underbody insulators, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 5, 2022.
Meanwhile, Mack is recalling approximately 150 2023 MD6/7 trucks. The engine control module (ECM) may experience an internal short-circuit, which can result in an unexpected engine shut down.
Cummins will replace the ECM, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on September 26, 2022.
Paccar is recalling approximately 586 2022-2023 Kenworth T680 tractor trailers. The mud flap may contact the fuel tank while the vehicle is in motion, creating wear on the fuel tank over time.
Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and install an anti-sail device to prevent the mud flap from contacting the fuel tank, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 03, 2022.
