- Summary
- 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.
- Consequence
- 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.
- Remedy
- 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.
- Notes
- Freightliner recall no.fl-425.CUSTOMERS can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

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.
