What’s wrong with it?
A vehicle that drifts out of its lane increases the risk of a crash.
Mack Trucks, Inc.
(Mack) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Anthem (AN), Granite (GR/GU), and Pinnacle (CHU/CXU/PI) vehicles equipped with “camelback” rear suspension and electronic stability control.
The vehicles may not stay in their lane at certain speeds.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 136, “Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles.”
