Freightliner Recalls

Hazard: If the bolts were not properly tightened, the seat belt may fail to secure the seat occupant in the event of a crash.

Hazard: If "PARK" illuminates instead of the word "BRAKE," the driver will be unaware of a braking issue or malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the brake caliper mounting bolts loosen or detach, braking ability may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the PDM short circuits, there would be an increased risk of a fire, especially if the nearby CNG tank leaks.

Hazard: If a wheel separates from the axle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Hazard: An engine stall without the ability to restart the engine can increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the required crash pads are missing, it can increase the risk of injury to a front passenger seat occupant if they are unbelted.

Hazard: The operator may unintentionally overload the tires, possibly causing tire failure thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Caliper contact with the spring suspension may reduce the braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: The overheated connection can increase the risk of a fire.

Hazard: The vehicle may be overloaded if loaded to the incorrect weight shown on the label, possibly resulting in axle or tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Hazard: If the hex nuts are not tightened to specification, the driveshaft may disconnect from the drive axle, resulting in a loss of propulsion and increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Hot exhaust in close proximity to the PRD may cause the PDR to activate and CNG to be unexpectedly released from the tank. Discharge of CNG in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Hazard: A momentary loss of steering or steering lock up increases the risk of a crash.

Hazard: An engine that stalls without warning increases the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the fifth wheel and locking mechanism are sufficiently damaged, the locking mechanism may fail to operate as intended and the trailer may unexpectedly detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the steering arm bolts are not properly tightened, the steering arm may separate from the knuckle causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: A reduction in braking performance can increase the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

Hazard: If the primary brake air system fails causing the truck to rely on the secondary brake air system, the brakes lights may not illuminate when the brakes are applied, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: While traveling at highway speeds, brake drag may cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Intermittent operation of the trailer lights may prevent other drivers from knowing that the truck is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, an electrical short in the SAM chassis may result in a a fire.

Hazard: If the corrosion progresses and goes undetected, the hose could begin to leak CNG, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.

Hazard: If the instrument panel doesn't display warnings, the driver may be unaware that braking force is reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: While traveling at highway speeds, brake drag may cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: Improper seating can result in the valves improperly adjusting air pressure levels, thereby reducing the braking performance of the vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash.

Hazard: If the parking brake applies without warning while driving and without activating the brake lights, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Hazard: Due to the area of its placement, the exhaust system forces heat around, and may overheat, the fuel system components, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
