The pro-torque nut may not have been installed correctly, which may result in a loosening of the nut.If the nut comes loose, the hub assembly may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Mack Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the vehicles, as necessary, free of charge.
The recall began on November 12, 2013. The recall number is SC0371.
The other recalls involves 535 Mack model year 2014 CXU and GU vehicles manufactured May 10, 2013, through June 12, 2013.

The recall is expected to begin by December 9, 2013. Mack's recall number is SC0372.
