What’s wrong with it?
Separation of the steering shaft will result in complete loss of steering which may lead to a vehicle crash.
Mack Trucks, Inc.
(Mack) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Titan vehicles manufactured from February 25, 2015, through February 12, 2016.
The bolt connecting the upper steering shaft to the lower steering shaft may not properly secure the upper steering shaft, which can lead to separation of the steering shaft.

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
