Summary:
MACK TRUCKS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2012 MRU AND LEU HEAVY TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 3, 2007, THROUGH FEBRUARY 3, 2011. THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY IN THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION.
Consequence:
IN THE EVENT OF AN ELECTRICAL OVERAGE, THE FUSE THAT SHOULD PREVENT THE OVER CURRENT FROM REACHING THE MIRROR SWITCH CIRCUIT MAY FAIL, SUCH THAT THE MIRROR SWITCH CAN OVERHEAT. AN OVERHEATED SWITCH COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy:
