1992 FREIGHTLINER FREIGHTLINER Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 93V068000 on 04/29/1993
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1992 - 11/30/1992
- Affected:
- 54
- Defect:
- When the fuel tanks were tested in accordance with federal motor carrier safety regulation 363.67, fuel tank caps and/or filler neck welds leaked.
- Consequence:
- In case of an accident the fuel tanks may leak and ifa source of ignition is present, fuel leakage can result in a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will expand the filler neck inner tube to prevent fuel from leaking out between it and the outer tube.
- Notes:
- System: fuel system.vehicle description: heavy trucks with a prototype 1/4 turn fuel tank cap andfiller neck.
- Campaign:
- 93V069000 on 04/29/1993
- Component:
- Service brakes, air:disc:chamber
- Manufactured:
- 11/30/1988 - 12/31/1992
- Affected:
- 200
- Defect:
- The spring brake chambers mounted on tag axles with mounting studs aligned horizontally instead of vertically can result in fracture of the brake chamber housing base which limits the application of service brakes on the affected wheel.
- Consequence:
- Limited application of service brakes on a wheelincreases stopping distance which could result in an accident.
- Correction:
- Replace the brake chambers with chambers that have been reinforced for horizontal mounting.
- Notes:
- System: brakes.vehicle description: heavy trucks with spring brake type mgm brake chambersinstalled on rockwell tag axles.
- Campaign:
- 93V070000 on 04/29/1993
- Component:
- Service brakes, air
- Manufactured:
- 06/30/1992 - 03/31/1993
- Affected:
- 160
- Defect:
- The exhaust port in the up position allows water to enter the air brake system, which can block the air brake system in freezing conditions.
- Consequence:
- Blockages in the air brake system can block the exhaustfrom the brake chambers after service brake application, causing the brakes todrag and possibly overheat on either side of the drive axles. this couldincrease stopping distance and result in a vehicle accident.
- Correction:
- Invert the brake valves so the exhaust ports are down.
- Notes:
- System: brakes.vehicle description: heavy trucks with traction control that have crossmembermounted brake valves positioned with the exhaust port up.
