Mack CX in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Mack CX is named on 30 American notices. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country.

Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, a manufacturing defect in the unitized hub assemblies could result in premature spalling of the front wheel bearings, which in turn could lead to eventual breakdown of the bearing, possible front wheel separation and loss of vehicle control amidst the presence of warning signals such as activation of ABS warning light, steering wheel vibration, brake drag, noise, and vehicle pull. Correction: Dealer will replace both front hub assemblies.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2003314.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Mack: 334 in the register, and 350 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2003.
