Equipment
Problem: Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2002-2017 Freightliner Cascadia, Century Class, Columbia and Coronado trucks and Western Star 4700, 4900, 5700, 5900 and 6900 trucks. These vehicles are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Fix: DTNA will notify owners, and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on April 11, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712, or contact Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-759.
Steering
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with vehicle improvement steering wheels, the steering wheels may be manufactured with incorrect length huck fasteners that are too short to allow proper collar engagement on the pin. The steering wheel will feel loose on the hub for a period of time, with the subsequent possibility of a complete separation.
Risk: Steering wheel separation will result in a loss of steering control, possible resulting in a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the steering wheels for correct length huck fasteners. Steering wheels will be repaired or replaced free of charge. The recall began on may 5, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
