2001 Freightliner MT recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong

🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a rail support for the lp tank.
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.)
