Suspension
- What is wrong
- Certain freightliner trucks and thomas school buses equipped with holland/neway air suspension systems, a transverse beam casting may fracture under normal loads. If a casting breaks when the vehicle is traveling on a roadway there is the potential for pieces of the casting to become projectiles and the suspension's transverse beam may drop down low enough to contact the road surface.
- Risk
- This will cause sparks that could potentially ignite and cause a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective transverse beam assemblies. The recall began for thomas built owners on february 10, 2006; and for freightliner owners on april 14, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
