Recall 07V-333: 2007–2008 Sterling A-Line, 2007–2008 Sterling Acterra and 1 more
FREIGHTLINER LLC recall for wheels, reported to NHTSA on Aug 1, 2007, covering about 1,042 vehicles.
The problem
On certain trucks built with axilok rear wheel spindle nuts, the nuts may have been improperly installed, with one or both locking clip tabs not properly engaged or damaged.
The risk
This may reduce the nut's ability to resist rotation, potentially allowing the nut to back off and the dual wheel set to separate from the vehicle, resulting in a crash without prior warning.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the axilok nuts for locking clip engagement or damage. They will be adjusted or replaced free of charge. The recall began on august 10, 2007. Owners may contact freightliner at 800-547-0712.
