Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 13 January 1976.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Additional notes

Mack campaign no SC072.TRUCKS equipped with eaton skid control system androckwell international FF931 or FL931 w front axles with aluminum wheel hubs.possibility that full adjustment of the wheel speed sensor cannot be obtainedwith the present eaton wheel speed rotor.if this results in interferencebetween the rotor and sensor on only one wheel of the front axle and theinterferenceis sufficient to damage the sensor, then anti-wheel lock capabilitywill be lost on the front axle and the anti-wheel lock warning light indicatorwill activate, alerting the driver.however, in the event sensor-to-rotorinterference on both wheels of the front axle, and causes damage to bothsensor, the anti-wheel lock capability will be lost on the front axle, but theanti-wheel lock indicator warning light will not be activated.absence of theanti-lock capability could result in impaired vehicle control should the driverundertake a panic stop in slippery road conditions.(correct by inspecting andreplacing eaton wheel rotors with improved parts and replace damaged sensos).

Check your own vehicle

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
