What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks, the protective cover for the cab power distribution model (pdm) may be missing or improperly installed.

Possible consequence

If the protective cover is missing or not positioned correctly, any water intrusion from an open window or windshield leak may seep through the upper dash cover seam and drip onto the pdm. Water on the pdm circuits may cause a short circuit resulting in a fire that could cause personal injury.

Remedy

Dealers will install a new cover free of charge. The recall began on december 18, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
