- What is wrong

The steering wheel will feel loose on the hub for a period of time, with the subsequent possibility of a complete separation.
- Risk
- Steering wheel separation will result in a loss of steering control, possible resulting in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the steering wheels for correct length huck fasteners. Steering wheels will be repaired or replaced free of charge. The recall began on may 5, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
