Mack Trucks is recalling approximately 151 model year 2024-2026 Mack MD Electric trucks that were incorrectly manufactured with the hill start assist (HSA) message enabled.
The electric trucks are not equipped with hill start assist functionality, unlike standard Mack MD models, but the same owner's manual language and dashboard iconography was mistakenly used in both platforms.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall documents, a false hill start assist message can lead to unexpected vehicle rollback on an incline, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the dashboard notification software and add a correction to the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Dec. 28. Owners can contact Mack's customer service at 1-800-866-1177 with recall number SC0502. NHTSA’s recall number is 26V-719.
