Recall 06V-387: 2007 Freightliner Columbia
FREIGHTLINER LLC recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Oct 11, 2006, covering about 9 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks equipped with arvinmeritor rpl20 high angle interaxle driveshafts, an improper seated or missing snap ring can result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. The universal joint cross could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear work to fracture.
The risk
This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle to which it is attached and any additional nearby objects.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the driveshafts and replace them as needed. The recall began on december 6, 2006. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
