Recall campaigns 6 of 8
15V343000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
15V220000
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
If the primary brake air system fails causing the truck to rely on the secondary brake air system, the brakes lights may not illuminate when the brakes are applied, increasing the risk of a crash.
15V112000
EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
14V681000
PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIR
If the parking brake applies without warning while driving and without activating the brake lights, there is an increased risk of a crash.
14V680000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
Due to the area of its placement, the exhaust system forces heat around, and may overheat, the fuel system components, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2013 FREIGHTLINER 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.
