Service brakes, air:disc
Problem: Daimler trucks recalled 1 my 2009 freightliner custom chassis x-line motor home chassis equipped with bendix front air disc brakes. The front air disc brakes may have been contaminated with grease between the piston head/plate and the diaphragm. When braking pressure is applied, the grease may allow the piston head/plate to slip off center and catch on the reducing ring of the service chamber.
Risk: The catching of the piston head/plate on the reducing ring may lock up the corresponding front air disc brake which may impact the operator's ability to steer or control the vehicle.
Fix: Dealers replaced both front air disc brakes service chambers. The vehicle was repaired on september 5, 2008. No further action is required on this recall.
