ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
With the incorrect calibration, the driver may unknowingly exceed the posted speed limit, increasing the risk of a crash.
2 safety recall campaigns, 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.
With the incorrect calibration, the driver may unknowingly exceed the posted speed limit, increasing the risk of a crash.
The increase in engine speed may result in unintended acceleration, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2014 FREIGHTLINER MT55s 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.
