1995 Freightliner Century recalls (2)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
Problem: Vehicle description: heavy duty truck. Leaks through the firewall or steering shaft boots allows water to run down the steering shaft. The steering shaft slip spline corrodes causing it to seize.
Risk: Increased steering effort can result increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the steering shaft with a new design that is installed in an inverted orientation so no water can enter the splines.
Vehicle speed control
Problem: These vehicles are equipped with a detroit diesel optimized idle system. If the ignition is turned on and the fuse for the electronic control module (ecm) power feed line is removed or burned out, the safety features designed to prevent injury to persons working in the vicinity of the engine will be bypassed, and unintentional cranking of the engine will occur.
Risk: If unintentional cranking of the engine occurs, persons working in the vicinity of the engine could be injured and the vehicle could move.
Fix: Detroit diesel distributors will rewire the vehicles using a revised ecm which will eliminate unintentional cranking.
