Example complaints
Suspension: “My husband was involved in an accident with a 2000 Freightliner conventional FLD120 semi tractor. I need to know if this vehicle was ever subject to a recall. The NHTSA action number is pe02088 and the NHTSA campaign id number is 03v112000. My question is very specific. Was this VIN number subject to a recall?”
NHTSA complaint #10286360, filed 2009-10Tires: “The left rear frame rail is twisted, bent and sagging confirmed by 4 frame shop inspections causing the large truck to handle with difficulty and safely. This is causing unnecessary rapid tire wear and is a danger to the public on the road. Frieghtliner has said by their own district service manager, paul newman, that this is a non-issue and after all the professionals reports he, the dsm, said he sees nothing wrong and will therefore not replace the truck with a buy-back nor will he authorize any repairs. …”
