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.

2004 Freightliner Century ST recalls, newest first

July 16, 2007NHTSA 07V30200075,000 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, air › Supply › Check valve

Summary
Certain freightliner school bus chassis, heavy trucks, and thomas built school buses manufactured between July 2002 and July 3, 2007, equipped with bendix SR-7 spring brake control valves. The parker scv brass 90 degree single check valves (scv) which attach to the supply port of a bendix SR-7 spring brake modulating valve can break apart. Pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the SR-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the SR-7 valve. Also, due to a manufacturing defect in the internal rubber check valve inside the SR-7 spring brake modulating valves, the valves can become deformed and not seat properly.
Consequence
These conditions could either result in leakage and cause a delay in the application of the spring brake without warning or possibly lead to unintended vehicle rollaway or brake drag which could result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
Remedy
Freightliner will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2008 to freightliner, sterling, and freightliner custom chassis owners; to thomas built bus owners on February 1, 2008. Owners can contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Wheels › Hub

Summary
On certain trucks equipped with 3rd generation conmet aluminum wheels, the drum mounting flange on the conmet truturn brake drum may have been manufactured with a taper from the pilot hole to the barrel of the drum.
Consequence
This taper may cause cracking or fractures of the front hub. This could cause a crash without prior warning.
Remedy
After further investigation and testing, freightliner has revised the population and the remedy (December 22, 2005). Therefore, the recall began on March 15, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
