What's wrong?
The inner door latch on the 2015 Mack Leu is part of the linkage that turns the inside handle pull into movement at the door latch. When it is built correctly, the linkage reaches far enough to release the latch so a person inside the truck can open the door normally.
On affected trucks, one component in that door opening mechanism was too short. Mack traced the problem to stacked tolerances, which means several small allowed variations in parts or assembly added up in the wrong direction. The short tab left the inside handle without enough travel to release the latch. The recall repair uses a longer tab so the handle movement reaches the latch as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. The inside handle can feel normal until the moment the door fails to open from inside the truck.

What's the safety risk?
A failed inner door latch can keep the door from opening from inside the vehicle. This hinders escape and increases injury risk during an emergency. There is no warning sign before the latch problem shows up, so confirm your VIN and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Mack dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Mack technician replaces the suspect inner door latches so the door opening mechanism works from inside the truck. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Mack says reimbursement for owner-paid repairs before the recall notice is handled case by case under its standard reimbursement plan. If you already paid for an inner door latch or door opening repair tied to this condition, contact Mack customer service with repair documentation and proof of payment.
