SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
12 safety recall campaigns, 8 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
An unexpected engine shutdown can delay emergency responders and increase the risk of injury.
Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Brakes that pull to one side during an ACC braking event may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
A cracked brake drum can cause a loss of brake function and increase the risk of a crash.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Two 2020 FREIGHTLINER BUSINESS CLASS M2s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
