Mack has recalled nearly 900 CH and CX model trucks for a possible steering problem.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that 869 Mack CH and CX 2000 and 2001 model year trucks, made between September 2000 and December 2000, have the wrong hose for the high-pressure line between the power steering pump and the steering gear. The hose is rated at 2000 psi, while it should be rated at 3000 psi. This hose could develop a leak or burst while in service. If this happens, steering control would still be maintained, but a loss of power assist will be experienced.
Dealers will replace the steering hose. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Mack at (610) 709-3011.
