All recalls
Vehicle speed control
- What is wrong
- On certain trucks and buses equipped with cummins electronic control modules on the c8.3g and l10g engines, the ECM does not have the ability to detect a throttle fail-safe engine shutdown command. This could result in an unanticipated, uncommanded open throttle condition without warning.
- Risk
- If this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Cummins will notify the customers and replace the ECM. Owners should contact cummins at 1‑800‑343‑7357 or freightliner at 1‑503‑745‑5219.
Recall number 03V246000 · Recall details
Equipment: other: labels
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: truck/trailers. The certification labels installed on these vehicles are incorrect. The gross axle weight rating is too high for the tires that were installed.
- Risk
- The vehicle is too heavy for the tires installed resulting in a tire separation.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a corrected certification label on these vehicles.
Recall number 98V002000 · Recall details
Suspension: rear
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: all vehicles equipped with eaton drive axles and axilok spindle nuts. The drive axle housings consist of a plate steel center section and two forged spindles, one of which is welded to each end of the center section. Each spindle contains a keyway slot in which the locking tab for the wheel bearing nut locking mechanism is inserted. The length of the keyway slot may not be long enough to accommodate the tab causing the tab to be deformed or damaged during installation.
- Risk
- This locking tab prevents the wheel bearing nut from loosening during vehicle operation. If this tab is deformed, the nut can loosen allowing the wheel to separate from the axle increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the drive axle housing nuts with a conventional wheel nut hardware system.
