I appreciate yours and NHTSA’s consideration of this matter. A copy of this document has been uploaded to the recall portal under 22V819. Best regards, Emily Bishop Director, Vehicle Certification & Compliance Complete Vehicle, USA emily.bishop@volvo.com +1 301 5735972 7900 National Service Rd | Greensboro, NC, 27409 | USA | Volvo Group pg. 2 Information Required per 49CFR556 Full Name of Applicants: Mack Trucks LLC. 7825 National Service Road, Greensboro, NC 27409-9416 Nature of Business: Vehicle Manufacture, Corporation State: North Carolina Description of motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment involved: • Brand: Mack • Models: Certain 2015-2023 GU/GR Class 8 trucks and truck-tractors • Manufacturing Dates: September 1, 2014-September 30, 2022 with different axle position and frame extension configurations. • Total number of vehicles involved: 27544 Description of non-compliance: This is issue is relative to the MVSS 108, 6.4.3 turn signal visibility. Based upon different axle positions and frame extension configurations, the forward turn signals on specific vehicles are not compliant with the 45 degree inboard and/or 15 degree downward angle relative to the September 2014 regulation update. S6.4.3 Visibility options. A manufacturer must certify compliance of each lamp function to one of the following visibility requirement options, and it may not thereafter choose a different option for that vehicle:(a) Lens area option. When a vehicle is equipped with any lamp listed in Table V-b each such lamp must provide not less than 1250 sq mm of unobstructed effective projected luminous lens area in any direction throughout the pattern defined by the corner points specified in Table V-b for each such lamp; or(b) Luminous intensity option. When a vehicle is equipped with any lamp listed in Table V-c each such lamp must provide a luminous intensity of not less than that specified in Table V-c in any direction throughout the pattern defined by the corner points specified in Table V-c for each such lamp when measured in accordance with the photometry test requirements of this standard.

The updated regulation includes the requirement that the turn indicator should be visible on 45 degrees inboard and 15 degrees downwards. However, certain vehicle configurations within Volvo Group were not updated accordingly. As a result of an unrelated engineering change, Volvo Group identified that a non-compliance existed on certain vehicles where they were found to not be compliant with MVSS 108,6.4.3 turn signal visibility. The inboard and downward angle of compliance was non-compliant by 8 degrees inboard and 8 degrees downward. Please reference the below table to identify the degree per vehicle. Degrees Model Inboard Downward GU Axle Back 37 15 GR Axle Back 37 15 GU Axle Forward 45 7 GR Axle Forward 45 7 GU Axle Forward Extended Frame Rail 45 7 GR Axle Forward Extended Frame Rail 45 7 Table 1: Degree of non-compliance pg. 5 Illustration 1. GR/GU 7 (illustration 1) is the axle forward configuration of the Granite truck platform: When configured in with a bumper and extended (front) frame it is not compliant with the updated regulation. Illustration 2. GR/GU 8 illustration 2 is the axle back configuration of the Granite truck platform: pg. 6 Period of Exemption Requested: Mack is petitioning that all vehicles in the affected population be exempt from the recall requirements as the non-compliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
