The recall affects certain 2018 Anthem, Granite and Pinnacle tractors manufactured between April 18, 2017, and Dec. 18, 2017. If the light control module fails, the trucks could lose exterior lighting, interior dashboard lighting and the windshield wipers.

Mack is expected to begin notifying owners of affected trucks this month, and dealers will replace the modules for free. Owners can contact Mack customer service at 1-800-866-1177 with recall number SC0409. NHTSA’s recall number is 18V-152.
