Summary
On certain trucks equipped with arvinmeritor RPL20 high angle interaxle driveshafts, an improper seated or missing snap ring can result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. The universal joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture.
Consequence
This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and any additional nearby objects.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the driveshafts and replace them as needed. The recall began on December 6, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

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.
