2016 Freightliner 114SD recalls
Unapproved tires and rims can raise crash risk
Certain heavy-duty trucks were built or equipped with tires and rims that are not approved or rated for the vehicle by the Tire and Rim Association or the tire manufacturer.
Battery cable can rub on cab and cause fire risk
The battery cable on certain Autohaulers built on Freightliner 114SD chassis may contact the bottom of the cab when the cab moves during operation.
Insufficient air brake reservoir may reduce braking, raising crash risk
Some heavy trucks may have an air brake reservoir (tank) that is too small to meet federal brake standards.
Air brake valve may be missing, risking sudden parking brake application
Some Freightliner M2 Business Class, 108SD, and 114SD trucks from model years 2015 through 2017 may be missing a required check valve in one port of the spring brake modulation valve.
Instrument Cluster May Freeze, Disabling Turn Signals
Trucks that were modified to use both a left-hand and a right-hand instrument cluster may have incompatible displays.
Loose Brake Caliper Bolts Can Reduce Braking
Some trucks may have brake caliper mounting bolts that were not torqued correctly at the factory.
Front Wheel Hubs May Fail, Causing Wheel Separation
Certain heavy-duty trucks built between March 2013 and July 2016 are equipped with aluminum non-high capacity front axle hubs that may be too weak for the front axle weight rating specified for the vehicle.
Rear brake caliper may contact suspension, reducing braking
Some trucks may have a rear disc brake caliper installed incorrectly, allowing the caliper to contact the spring suspension.
Front tires may be overloaded and fail, raising crash risk
Certain trucks were built with front axles rated for 20,000 pounds, but the Bridgestone R249 front tires installed on them have a lower maximum load capacity.
Loose axle nuts can cause driveshaft to disconnect
Certain heavy trucks built between late 2014 and late 2015 may have hex nuts on the drive axle's flange yoke that were not properly tightened.
Engine May Stall Without Warning, Raising Crash Risk
Certain 2016 heavy-duty trucks and buses with specific Cummins ISB6.7, ISL9, ISX12 or ISX15 engines may have an engine control module (ECM) that can short circuit and blow a fuse.
Truck May Roll Backward After Shifting Out of Reverse
Certain 2015-2016 Freightliner and Western Star trucks with Eaton Fuller FR 10-speed manual transmissions built between January 4 and April 24, 2015 may have a problem where the reverse gear stays engaged after the shift lever is moved from reverse to neutral.
Steering Arm Bolts May Loosen, Risking Loss of Steering
Certain 2016 Freightliner heavy-duty trucks built between June 29, 2015 and September 7, 2015 may have steering arm bolts that were not properly tightened at the factory.
Rear Brakes May Contact Suspension, Reducing Stopping Power
Certain Freightliner trucks built between April 2013 and September 2015 may have rear disc brake calipers that were installed in the wrong orientation.
Engine oil leak can cause a fire in heavy trucks
A vent tube elbow on the engine's crankcase breather can come loose because of excess crankcase pressure.
