Service brakes, air:supply:low pressure warning:switchJun 9, 2004 · NHTSA campaign 04V283000 · 2,000 vehicles

Problem: Certain motor home chassis fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, 'air brake systems.' in a situation in which multiple alarms are active, a check engine, stop engine, or similar warning indicator is given priority over the low air alarm by the instrument system controller software. If the operator does not acknowledge these higher priority alarms, a low air alarm may not be displayed.

Risk: This means that a vehicle could be driven with the air pressure below 60 psi without the low air warning sounding, which could result in a crash.

Fix: Dealers will re-program the multi-module data controller software. The recall began on july 6, 2004. Owners should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

SteeringDec 4, 2003 · NHTSA campaign 03V488000 · 130 vehicles

Problem: On certain school bus, xc rv, and shuttle bus chassis manufactured between february 1 and july 18, 2003, incorrect axle steering stop bolts were installed on aac front axles. It may be possible to turn the front wheels in either direction until the tires contact or damage other steering components.

Risk: The driver can possibly loose control of the vehicle if the tires contact the steering components while the bus is in motion.

Fix: Freightliner will notify its customers and repair the buses free of charge. Owner notification is expected to begin during december 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 503-745-5219.
