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.

July 10, 2003NHTSA 03V24600062 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control

Summary
On certain trucks and buses equipped with cummins electronic control modules on the C8.3G and L10G engines, the ECM does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.
Consequence
If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ECM. Owners should contact cummins at 1-800-343-7357 or freightliner at 1-503-745-5219.

Parking brake › Driveline

Summary
Vehicle description: trucks equipped with a driveline parking brake. The fasteners that connect the end of transmission companion flange to the park drum and driveline may loosen.
Consequence
If this is undetected, the fasteners may fatigue and eventually shear off allowing the driveline to separate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the flange fasteners for proper torque and replace any fasteners found loose. If the fasteners are found to be properly torqued, they will be removed, permalock will be added, and then retorqued to proper specifications.
