2008 FREIGHTLINER CLASSIC XL Recalls (9)

Campaign:: 07V302000 on 07/15/2007
Component:: Service brakes, air:supply:check valve
Manufactured:: 06/30/2002 - 07/02/2007
Affected:: 75,000
Defect:: Certain freightliner school bus chassis, heavy trucks, and thomas built school buses manufactured between july 2002 and july 3, 2007, equipped with bendix sr-7 spring brake control valves. the parker scv brass 90 degree single check valves (scv) which attach to the supply port of a bendix sr-7 spring brake modulating valve can break apart. pieces of the parker scv can become lodged inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valve, potentially causing either leakage out of the sr-7 valve or preventing air from properly exhausting from the sr-7 valve. also, due to a manufacturing defect in the internal rubber check valve inside the sr-7 spring brake modulating valves, the valves can become deformed and not seat properly.
Consequence:: These conditions could either result in leakage and cause a delay in the application of the spring brake without warning or possibly lead to unintended vehicle rollaway or brake drag which could result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or death.
Correction:: Freightliner will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. the recall began on january 11, 2008 to freightliner, sterling, and freightliner custom chassis owners; to thomas built bus owners on february 1, 2008. owners can contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Affected:: 450
Defect:: On certain trucks equipped with rack and pinion steering, the ball socket assembly at the inner end of the driver side tie rod may be damaged in a sharp turn. excessive tie rod angles may loosen the tie rod in the ball socket or damage the threaded tie rod socket attachment to the steering rack on the driver side. the threaded end of the ball socket assembly may fracture and separate.
Consequence:: A fractured tie rod assembly will make the vehicle more difficult to control at higher speeds and a crash may occur.
Correction:: Dealers will change the front axle steering stops to prevent interference in the tie rod ball socket assembly and steering components will be replaced free of charge. the recall began on july 8, 2008, and will be mailed in phases through december 31, 2008. owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Component:: Trailer hitches:fifth wheel assembly
Manufactured:: 12/31/2005 - 05/30/2007
Affected:: 38,000
Defect:: On certain truck-tractors equipped with holland simplex se or se ii fifth wheels, the latch lever pivot bolt assembly may have been over-tightened which could distort the pivot bolt spacer sleeve. corrosion or contaminates in the pivot may cause it to bind and prevent the fifth wheel jaw from latching securely around the trailer king pin.
Consequence:: There is a possibility that the fifth wheel may fail to latch without the driver's knowledge. when the occurs, the driver could drive away and the trailer could become disengaged increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufactured:: 04/30/2007 - 11/29/2007
Affected:: 220
Defect:: On certain trucks equipped with trw steering gears, models tas85 and rcs85, these steering gears contain potentially defective sector shafts with an incorrect gear tooth which may interfere with the rack-piston teeth, resulting in a stick or bind condition.
Consequence:: This condition has the potential to cause the steering gear to stall and restrict the steering turning angle of the vehicle which could result in a vehicle crash.
Correction:: Freightliner is working with trw to replace the defective steering gear (please see 07e101). the recall began on april 18, 2008. owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.

Manufactured:: 07/22/2007 - 10/14/2007
Affected:: 141
Defect:: On certain trucks, the jam nuts on the brake pushrod between the pedal and the brake valve may not have been tightened. these nuts secure the adjustment of the brake pedal pushrod.
