- Summary
- Daimler trucks recalled 1 my 2009 freightliner custom chassis x-line motor home chassis equipped with bendix front air disc brakes. The front air disc brakes may have been contaminated with grease between the piston head/plate and the diaphragm. When braking pressure is applied, the grease may allow the piston head/plate to slip off center and catch on the reducing ring of the service chamber.
- Consequence
- The catching of the piston head/plate on the reducing ring may lock up the corresponding front air disc brake which may impact the operator's ability to steer or control the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Dealers replaced both front air disc brakes service chambers. The vehicle was repaired on September 5, 2008. No further action is required on this recall.
- Notes
- Daimler trucks recall no. Fl-541.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.

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.
