The winning trucks were chosen from hundreds of submissions, with thousands of fans voting across Mack’s social media channels over several weeks. Mack said the selected trucks span vocations, regions, and generations, representing the breadth of its customer base across the United States and Canada.

Each winning truck will receive its own month in the calendar. Professional photo shoots are planned this summer to capture the vehicles in their normal working environments.

Winners Include Current and Legacy Mack Trucks

The calendar winners include trucks used in long haul, construction, recycling, waste, electric vehicle, and other commercial operations.

To be eligible, every truck submitted had to be in active commercial service, whether it was a current production truck or a legacy model.

One standout from this year’s selections is a 72-year-old Mack L Model that still hauls on a daily basis. The truck anchors the Old Bulldogs Still Hard at Work category.

Additional standout entries from this year’s contest may also appear across Mack Trucks’ digital and social media channels throughout the year.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 60,000 Mack trucks—from model years 2020 to 2025, including the Anthem, Granite, Pinnacle, and TerraPro—are being recalled due to issues with Bendix EC80 Advanced ECUs. Problems such as electrical interference and inadequate power line signals may lead the ECU to misinterpret commands or cease functioning altogether.

International Motors is also recalling over 105,000 trucks for similar reasons. The impacted models include:

• 2021-2025 HV

• 2021-2025 HX

• 2021-2024 LoneStar

• 2021-2025 LT

• 2021-2025 MV

• 2022 ProStar

• 2021-2025 RH

These malfunctions in the Bendix ECU could impair critical safety functions like automatic traction control, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control, active cruise control, and collision mitigation systems, thereby heightening crash risks.

The faulty EC80 ECUs are primarily installed in “towing vehicles.” Bendix utilizes a power line carrier network enabling communication between tractor and trailer through an electrical signal. This signal is prone to failure, particularly in trucks towing multiple trailers compared to those with a single trailer.

Mack Trucks has documented 55 warranty claims as of October 30th, where the ABS light activated, causing the system to go “offline” without affecting other safety features. Fortunately, no field reports, accidents, or injuries have been linked to the Bendix ECU malfunction so far.

Authorized dealers will offer free reprogramming of the affected Bendix ECU software. Mack truck owners will receive notification letters on December 13, while International truck owners can expect theirs on December 23.

This recall is part of a broader issue initiated on October 11, affecting over 400,000 ECUs distributed to Volvo Trucks and Navistar. Volvo has already recalled nearly 127,000 trucks featuring these ECUs.

For detailed information about the Mack recall, contact customer service at 800-866-1177 with recall number SC0472. NHTSA’s reference for this recall is 24V-792. Inquiries regarding the International recall can be directed to their customer service at 800-448-7825 with recall number 24515. NHTSA’s reference for this recall is 24V-818.
