Has your Freightliner been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Freightliner dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Trailer hitches › Fifth wheel assembly

Summary
Dtna is recalling certain model year 2011 business class M2, and coronado, model year 2011-2012 cascadia vehicles equipped with fontaine ultra lt fifth wheels and manufactured from April 7, 2010, through March 7, 2011. During the coupling process on vehicles equipped with pre-modification fontaine ultra lt fifth wheels, it is possible for the driver to partially close the fifth wheel lock, and if relying on a tug test (pull test), and not performing the required visual inspection, think that the fifth wheel lock is properly coupled to the trailer king pin, when in fact, it is not.
Consequence
If the tractor is not fully connected to the trailer, the trailer may disengage while in use, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Fontaine notified owners in February 2011, and is handling the remedy for this campaign. Fontaine is in the process of retrofitting all affected vehicles, free of charge. Owners may contact fontaine at 1-800-874-9780 or dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

Summary

Consequence

Remedy
Dealers will inspect the headlamp height and replace any nonconforming headlights with new headlights that lower the bulb center such that the headlights meet the safety standard free of charge. An interim letter was sent to owners on June 1, 2011. The notification letter to notify owners that the remedy is now available was mailed on October 10, 2011.
