Volvo Group has issued a recall for 13 of its Mack trucks due to a manufacturing defect.

The affected models include the ANA, CLX, CMH, and CSM in the year range 2021-2022.

Volvo Group said the gear set within the power steering assembly may have been installed incorrectly, resulting in a loss of steering control.

“A loss of steering control could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users,” the recall notice said.

Affected Mack vehicle identification numbers are:

6FMAN1GT1MD812848

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred Volvo Group dealership to have work carried out to fix the problem, free of charge.

Paccar Australia has also recalled 1197 Kenworth T360 models due to a manufacturing defect in the vehicle’s air system.

The affected models are the T360 and T360A, in the year range 2018-2023.

The recall notice said the defect may cause a delay in charging the front brake circuit, which could result in a loss of braking performance of the front brakes.

Rear axle and trailer braking are not impacted by this issue.

Affected units are not compliant with Australian Design Rule 35/06 – Commercial Vehicle Brake Systems, and “must be rectified to ensure a fully functional and safe braking system”, the notice said.

Owners of affected vehicles should immediately contact their nearest Kenworth dealership to have the work carried out, free of charge.
