Recall 95E003005 — SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
| 18,500 vehicles affected
Defect: AIR SYSTEM BLOCKAGE IN THE AIR DRYER OCCURS DEGRADING THE MOISTURE REMOVING CAPABILITIES OF THE DRYER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT AND MOISTURE ACCUMULATES AND FREEZES IN THE AIR DRYER OR IN THE LINE BETWEEN THE DRYER AND THE AIR SYSTEM RESERVOIR. THE AIR DRYER CAN BECOME OVER PRESSURIZED CAUSING THE AIR DRYER CARTRIDGE TO SEPARATE...
Consequence: IF THE AIR DRYER SEPARATES FROM THE BASE, THE CARTRIDGECAN SEPARATE SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL EQUIP AIR SYSTEMS WITH A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TO BE LOCATED BETWEEN THE COMPRESSOR AND THE AIR DRYER. THIS PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INTENDED TO VENT IF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE AIR DRYER.

Most Recent Complaints
OUR 1995 FREIGHTLINER ROLL-OFF TRUCK WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED 6/9/03 IN ACCIDENT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FREIGHTLINER FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON 7/7/03, ONE MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT. FREIGHTLINER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGES TO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE "THEY DID WHAT WAS REQUIRED OF THEM. THEY SENT OUT THE NOTICES. IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE NECESSARY REPAIRS DONE". HOW WERE WE TO KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM? THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED BEFORE WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT! IT IS UNCONSCIENABLE THAT FREIGHTLINER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE VEHICLES THEY SELL. THERE ARE LIKELY MANY OTHER FREIGHTLINER TRUCKS OUT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY THAT ARE OPERATING WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE BRAKES. MIRACULOUSLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED IN OUR ACCIDENT. THE NEXT FREIGHTLINER OWNER MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY.
