SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
Caliper contact with the spring suspension may reduce the braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
4 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation.
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.
Caliper contact with the spring suspension may reduce the braking effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
The sensor malfunction could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.
Air tanks that become separated from a moving vehicle may create a road debris hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2011 FREIGHTLINER 114SDs 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.
