Mack service campaign S4245 202411

Mack filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Nov 1, 2024, received Dec 2, 2024, about the fuel/propulsion system. It names 1 model year (2024). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

What the bulletin says

Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communication

Mack Trucks has identified that certain MDE model trucks may have inadequate torque at the high-voltage connections of the drive motor. Insufficient torque at these connections can lead to intermittent power loss and potential short circuits.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5; the full text comes from the manufacturer or a dealer. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. Quote it at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.
