1995 Freightliner FLD 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
- These vehicles are equipped with a detroit diesel optimized idle system. If the ignition is turned on and the fuse for the electronic control module (ecm) power feed line is removed or burned out, the safety features designed to prevent injury to persons working in the vicinity of the engine will be bypassed, and unintentional cranking of the engine will occur.
- The risk
- If unintentional cranking of the engine occurs, persons working in the vicinity of the engine could be injured and the vehicle could move.
- The fix
- Detroit diesel distributors will rewire the vehicles using a revised ecm which will eliminate unintentional cranking.
- The problem
- The bunk support bracket can fracture allowing the bunk to drop.
- The risk
- The bunk could fall without warning striking an occupant sitting in the lower bunk causing personal injury.
- The fix
- Dealers will install a bunk support bracket reinforcement kit.
- 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.
