2007 Freightliner Business Class M2 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain trucks, grease was applied to the front wheel bearings, but may not have enough in the cap or cavity in the hubs.
💥 The risk
Inadequate lubrication of the front wheel bearings could lead to a bearing failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the front hub installation for correct bearing adjustment. If the bearing adjustment is incorrect, the front wheel bearings will be replaced. The recall began on august 3, 2007. 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.)
