2008 FREIGHTLINER COLUMBIA Recalls (28)

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.

Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery
Manufactured:
11/30/2006 - 02/17/2007
Affected:
4,299
Defect:
On certain trucks, a manufacturing error in the fuel-water separator preheater thermoswitch may prevent the fuel preheater from turning off if the ignition is left on. if the ignition switch is left on when fuel is added to the fuel- water separator at the factory or during a filter element change, a small flame may occur inside the filter cover.
Consequence:
The potential exists for the flame to spread resulting in possible personal injury.
Correction:

Affected:
42,000
Defect:
On certain trucks built with a trw global adjustable upper steering column, two upper tilt plate bolts may loosen with use and fall out. these fasteners hold the upper column assembly in place. the steering column pivot may fracture if the bolts are missing when an excessive force is applied to the steering wheel.
Consequence:
Loss of steering wheel position may cause the steering to respond differently than expected. if this condition is ignored, a crash may occur.
Correction:

Consequence:
A fractured tie rod assembly will make the vehicle more difficult to control at higher speeds and a crash may occur.
Correction:

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.

Defect:
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 freightliner business class m2, cascadia, century, columbia, coronado and sterling a-line vehicles built with meritor wabco electronic stability control (esc) system manufactured from september 15, 2005 through september 1, 2011. under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (esc) system. this might cause the esc to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
Consequence:
If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Daimler trucks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the esc module with the appropriate software version as necessary, free of charge. an interim owner notification will be mailed on or about november 21, 2011. the date for availability of the final remedy is subject to validation testing and parts availability. the safety recall began on march 28, 2012. owners may contact daimler trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.
Notes:
Daimler safety recall number is fl-612.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Defect:
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2004 through 2008 heavy trucks manufactured from july 11, 2003, through september 28, 2007, equipped with epa04 model mbe4000 engines built with plastic low pressure fuel lines and fuel filters mounted near the center of the engine on the left-hand side. the plastic low pressure fuel line between engine mounted fuel filter and engine block may develop a substantial diesel fuel leak.
Consequence:
This could create a road hazard increasing the risk of a crash. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Correction:
Daimler trucks will notify owners and the remedy will be performed by detroit diesel corporation authorized repair facilities. vehicles will be inspected and the plastic low pressure fuel line will be replaced with a steel low pressure fuel line. this service will be performed free of charge. an interim letter was mailed to owners on october 28, 2011. the safety recall began on february 21, 2012. owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.

Defect:
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 freightliner cascadia, columbia, century, coronado, and classic xl trucks manufactured from november 1, 2004, through june 15, 2010 for the rack and pinion steering system. the lower pinion bearing may corrode and fail. a failed bearing may lead to damage of the spool valve seals. a damage spool valve seal may allow hydraulic fluid to flow to the right or left turn port instead of flowing to the return port.
Consequence:
The steering could unexpectedly turn left or right, making the vehicle more difficult to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Daimler trucks will inspect the lower bearing for corrosion. if corrosion is found, the rack and pinion system will be replaced. if no corrosion is found, on the bearing, the bearing will be packed with grease and the rubber bellows will be replaced with sealant added between the bellows and the rack housing. an interim letter was mailed in december 2011. owners may contact daimler trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.

Defect:
Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 freightliner, sterling, and western star vehicles, equipped with detroit diesel epa07 and epa10, dd13 and dd15/16 engines, manufactured from january 20, 2006, through february 20, 2012. the pump to rail high pressure fuel line support system used on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work. as a result of other repairs, the line supports may loosen, potentially leading to fuel line cracking and a fuel leak.
Consequence:
A fuel leak could create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. also a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Correction:
Dtna will notify owners, and where necessary, the high pressure fuel line support system will be replaced by dtna authorized service facilities, free of charge. the safety recall began on april 27, 2012. owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.
