SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
An insufficient air reservoir volume may reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of crash.
11 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 1 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.
An insufficient air reservoir volume may reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of crash.
A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
A reduction in water pressure may hinder fire fighting efforts, increasing the risk of injury.
A momentary loss of steering or steering lock up increases the risk of a crash.
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
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.
Two 2014 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.
