Summary: A larger than specified screw was used to mount a power junction stud block to the passenger side of the engine tunnel. The larger screw did not allow adequate clearance between the screw head and the ring terminals which attach to the stud. Contact between the ring terminals and the screw head can cause an electrical short circuit.
Consequence: Electrical short circuits in the engine compartment can lead to possible fires without prior warning.
Remedy: Correct size mounting fasteners will be installed to replace the oversize screws. These will be recessed into the mounting block and cannot come into contact with the ring terminals.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
