Freightliner during the hardening process, the axle assembly output shaft may have been made brittle, possibly resulting in the output shaft fracturing while the vehicle is in use.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the power train axle assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
During the hardening process, the axle assembly output shaft may have been made brittle, possibly resulting in the output shaft fracturing while the vehicle is in use.
If output shaft fractures while descending a grade, the compression braking will be ineffective. Additionally, large debris may land in the road.
DTNA will notify the owners, and Detroit Axle dealers will replace the output shaft, free of charge.
