Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

PARKING BRAKE LOCKUP ON 2007 FREIGHTLINER FRED ________________________________________ I HAVE A 2007 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BAY ON A FREIGHTLINER FRED (FRONT ENGINE DIESEL) CHASSIS. WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY I NOTICED A SUDDEN DECREASE IN ENGINE POWER AND THE BRAKE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. CHECKED SERVICE BRAKES AND THEY WERE STILL WORKING OK. BEING ON A NARROW HILL COUNTRY TEXAS 2 LANE WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING. FINALLY FOUND A PLACE TO SAFELY STOP. WHEN I DID I FOUND A HEAVY BRAKE BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE REAR OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER CALLING FREIGHTLINER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE PARKING BRAKE (PB) IS A SPRING ACTUATED BAND THAT CLAMPS AROUND A DISK LOCATED ON THE DRIVESHAFT IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE TRANSMISSION AND IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTUATED WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK. THIS BAND IS HELD OPEN BY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SNIFFED OUT OF PARK INTO A DRIVE GEAR. SOMETHING BROKE AND STOPPED THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SO THE SPRING ACTUATED BAND CLOSED ON THE DRIVE SHAFT DISK, EFFECTIVELY APPLYING THE PARKING BRAKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. FREIGHTLINER SERVICE SOLUTION # 3602 REPLACES THE ENTIRE PARK BRAKE SYSTEM WITH A MECHANICAL ONE. THEY PROVIDE PARTS BUT OWNER HAS TO PAY LABOR TO CORRECT A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! A DEFECTIVE PARKING BRAKE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT NICE TO HAVE SERVICE ISSUE. MY CONTINUED DRIVING COULD EASILY HAVE STARTED A FIRE BUT I HAD NO CHOICE, DRIVE OR STOP IN A DRIVING LANE OF A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROOD AS SPEEDS OF >60 MPH.. THIS IS TEXAS! THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT KNOWN TO FREIGHTLINER, YET NO RECALLS. VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE ON ROADSIDE UNTIL TOWED AND REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

SBU35-012

POWER TRAIN

FCCC Service Bulletin for Axle Flange Gasket Replaced with O-Ring. Daimler Trucks North America has released a new axle shaft to hub rubber O-ring (part number 11-30728-000) as a replacement for the paper gasket (part number 11-14418-000). The new O-ring will provide better sealing and is reusable. It is quicker and easier to use compared to the paper gasket, because using a paper gasket requires cleaning the hub when the axle shaft is removed.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
