Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages
Problem: On certain trucks, the jam nuts on the brake pushrod between the pedal and the brake valve may not have been tightened. These nuts secure the adjustment of the brake pedal pushrod.
Risk: This could result in a gradual loss in braking performance leading to a possible vehicle crash without prior warning.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and correct the brake pedal pushrod assembly. The recall began on february 19, 2008. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.
Steering:gear box:shaft sector
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with trw steering gears, models tas85 and rcs85, these steering gears contain potentially defective sector shafts with an incorrect gear tooth which may interfere with the rack-piston teeth, resulting in a stick or bind condition.
Risk: This condition has the potential to cause the steering gear to stall and restrict the steering turning angle of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Freightliner is working with trw to replace the defective steering gear (please see 07e101). The recall began on april 18, 2008. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
