The problem
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE COTTER PIN THAT RETAINS THE BRAKE PEDAL CLEVIS PIN MAY NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE CLEVIS PIN CONNECTS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE BRAKE FOOT VALVE.
Risk
IF THE PIN WERE TO COME LOOSE, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKE, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
What owners should do
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.
