The problem
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE WELDS THAT ATTACH THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ROD BRACKETS TO THE AXLE HOUSING MAY NOT MEET SPECIFICATIONS.
Risk
A WELD COULD FRACTURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR SUSPENSION BRACKET WELDS TO DETERMINE IF THEY MEET SPECIFICATIONS AND RE-WELD IF NECESSARY. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 31, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT 1-800-547-0712.
