Summary
On certain trucks built with a TRW global adjustable upper steering column, two upper tilt plate bolts may loosen with use and fall out. These fasteners hold the upper column assembly in place. The steering column pivot may fracture if the bolts are missing when an excessive force is applied to the steering wheel.
Consequence
Loss of steering wheel position may cause the steering to respond differently than expected. If this condition is ignored, a crash may occur.
Remedy
The tilt plate bolts will be inspected and replaced if necessary. The recall began on November 23, 2007. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
Notes
Freightliner recall no. Fl-505.CUSTOMERS may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

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.
