Recall campaigns
Defect, as filed: Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks converted from sleeper cabs to day cabs fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Consequence: The seat occupant may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will install reinforcements to the seat belt anchorages. Owner notification began december 31, 2001. 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 1-800-547-0712.
Filed by FREIGHTLINER CORPORATION (manufacturer campaign FL-381).
Defect, as filed: 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.
Consequence: If unintentional cranking of the engine occurs, persons working in the vicinity of the engine could be injured and the vehicle could move.
Remedy: Detroit diesel distributors will rewire the vehicles using a revised ecm which will eliminate unintentional cranking.
Filed by FREIGHTLINER CORPORATION.
Defect, as filed: The bunk support bracket can fracture allowing the bunk to drop.
