2005–2006 Freightliner Argosy & 2005–2006 Freightliner Century Class + 1 more recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, the protective cover for the cab power distribution model (pdm) may be missing or improperly installed.
💥 The risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
