2002 Freightliner MT-45 recalls
Recall 05V-138: Equipment
Problem: Certain van chassis with single rear tires fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars." the rear tire rating was incorrectly entered in the gawr/gvwr calculation program on certain single rear tires. The rear gawr and gvwr will be incorrect when the gawr is limited by the tire capacity on chassis with these tires.
Risk: This could cause premature tire tread wear or tire failure during normal driving which could cause a crash.
Fix: Dealers will mail new chassis identification labels with the correct gawr, gvwr, and tire information. The recall began on september 12, 2005. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
