The 1976 Mack Dm has 5 NHTSA recall campaigns affecting an estimated 136,109 vehicles. Recall repairs are always free at any authorized dealer. Last updated July 5, 2026.
IN THE INVOLVED TRUCKS IT IS POSSIBLE THE ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN REAR MOUNTING BRACKET COULD FAIL, ALLOWING STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO FALL DOWN ONTO THE OPERATOR"S LAP.
DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ADDITIONAL BRACKET IN THIS AREA TO PREVENT THE STEERING WHEEL FROM DISLOCATING IN THE EVENT OF A BRACKET FAILURE.
THE EXISTING CROSS STEERING ARMS MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT FATIGUE LIFE IN THE NECK AREA. THIS IS NEAR THE BOSS FOR THE CROSS STEERING TUBE BALL JOINT CONNECTION. FAILURE OF EITHER OF THE CROSS STEERING LEVERS COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OF THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL CROSS STEERING ARMS OF IMPROVED DESIGN AND GREATER STRENGTH.
AN AXLE "NO BRAKE" CONDITION COULD RESULT FROM AN EATON CONTROLLER INTERNAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK VALVE SOLENOID TO BE CONTINUOUSLY ENERGIZED AND PREVENT THE BRAKES FROM BEING APPLIED ON ONE OF THE AXLES. AS A RESULT, THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK WARNING LAMP IS NOT ACTIVATED.
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK CONTROLLER WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE SYNFLEX-TYPE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL LINE MAY HAVE BEEN ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY CAUSE THE LINE TO RUPTURE, AND OIL LEAKAGE MAY OCCUR.
THE DEALER WILL REROUTE THE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL LINE TO ELIMINATE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE FLEX BLADE FANS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE LAMINATED STIFFENER AS A RESULT OF FATIGUE DURING OPERATION. IF SUCH A CONDITION EXISTS AND THE CRACKS GO UNDETECTED, CONTINUED OPERATION COULD CAUSE PIECES OF THE STIFFENER TO BREAK OFF.
DEALER WILL REPLACE THE ORIGINAL FAN WITH A STEEL FIXED BLADE FAN, FREE OF CHARGE.
