Freightliner lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the suspension multiple axle. Here is what owners need to know.
The lower rear pivot cap screws may not be long enough to sufficiently engage the locking feature of the corresponding nuts.
If the screws are not long enough to engage the corresponding nuts, the hardware may separate from the suspension system, becoming a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the lower rear pivot cap screws for the proper length, correcting the hardware as necessary, free of charge.
