SUSPENSION:CRITICAL FASTENERS
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
14 safety recall campaigns, 2 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.
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
Understeering during a J-turn may increase the risk of a crash.
Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Brakes that pull to one side during an ACC braking event may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
A cracked brake drum can cause a loss of brake function and increase the risk of a crash.
Detached or broken tie rod ends can result in steering loss, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2021 FREIGHTLINER BUSINESS CLASS M2s 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.
