- Summary
- Daimler trucks is recalling 2,506 my 2008 xc motor home chassis and thomas built hdx school and transit buses equipped with saf-holland adl series rear suspensions. In some instances the transverse beam was not properly welded which could result in a failure of the weld.
- Consequence

Has your Farber 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 Farber dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
