Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Freightliner - Daimler truck north america. On certain vehicles built with a front axle built by Detroit Axles, the steering arm bolt may not have been sufficiently tightened at time of assembly. This could allow the bolt to loosen and potentially result in the separation of the steering arm from the steering knuckle, which could result in a loss of steering. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bolt torque and re-tighten or replace as necessary. Published 2016-05-03.
