What NHTSA recorded

On certain trucks built with a trw global adjustable upper steering column, two upper tilt plate bolts may loosen with use and fall out. These fasteners hold the upper column assembly in place. The steering column pivot may fracture if the bolts are missing when an excessive force is applied to the steering wheel.

Possible consequence

Loss of steering wheel position may cause the steering to respond differently than expected. If this condition is ignored, a crash may occur.

Remedy

The tilt plate bolts will be inspected and replaced if necessary. The recall began on november 23, 2007. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
