Mack F Series recalls 3
The retaining pin for the brake control knob has been misaligned (off the center line of the valve plunger hole). This causes the knob to be overstressed at the retaining pin hole area causing it to separate from the valve.
The steering arm may develop cracks due to insufficient fatigue life in the machine radius of the taper at the steering knuckle end.
