2002 Freightliner FL70 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain truck cab-chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." these trucks were shipped to a final stage manufacturer in mexico and sold in puerto rico without the required compliance certification labeling or an anti-lock braking system.
💥 The risk
This does not meet the standard requirements.
🔧 The fix
These vehicles will either be retrofit to bring them into compliance, or exported out of puerto rico. If they are retrofit, freightliner will send personnel and parts to add an anti-lock braking system, install the required certification, and tire information labels. The recall began on june 6, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 800-547-0712.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
