1995 Freightliner FL-60 recalls 4
Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- The parking brake lever may not travel far enough over center to assure that it remains in the proper position allowing the vehicle to roll away while parked.
- The risk
- If the vehicle is not properly parked with the transmission in the correct position, and if the vehicle is parked on a grade, it could unintentionally roll away increasing the potential for an accident.
- The fix
- Dealers will remove and replace the parking brake lever with a lever that requires a 25 lb. Effort to release.
- The problem
- Air system blockage in the air dryer occurs degrading the moisture removing capabilities of the dryer when the vehicle is operated in a cold environment and moisture accumulates and freezes in the air dryer or in the line between the dryer and the air system reservoir. The air dryer can become over pressurized causing the air dryer cartridge to separate from the mounting base.
- The risk
- If the air dryer separates from the base, the cartridgecan separate sufficiently enough to cause personal injury or property damage.
- The fix
- Dealers will equip air systems with a pressure relief valve to be located between the compressor and the air dryer. This pressure relief valve is intended to vent if excessive pressure develops in the air dryer.
- The problem
- The brake chamber mounting studs can loosen or pull through due to fatigue in the brake chamber housing caused by foundation brake chatter.
- The risk
- This condition can result in loss of braking capability.
- The fix
- Dealers will change the brake lining materials, replace the wing bracket with a reinforced bracket and install brake chambers with reinforced chamber housing and larger (1/2") mounting studs.
