- The problem
- On certain trucks equipped with vehicle improvement steering wheels, the steering wheels may be manufactured with incorrect length huck fasteners that are too short to allow proper collar engagement on the pin. The steering wheel will feel loose on the hub for a period of time, with the subsequent possibility of a complete separation.
- The risk
- Steering wheel separation will result in a loss of steering control, possible resulting in a crash.
- The fix
- 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.
