Mack Granite (2017) Suspension Recall: Risk of Front Hub Failure
Mack recalls 2017 Granite trucks with front hubs that may fail, causing loss of control or road hazards. Owners must have hub assemblies replaced free by dealers.
Use caution until it’s fixed
Overloaded front wheel hubs can result in premature failure of the hubs, bearings, and the related components, which can cause the front hub assembly to separate from the front axle. Because of this, the driver may lose control of the vehicle or parts may be dropped on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
