Steering link can separate, causing loss of steering control
The drag link taper joint on certain Freightliner trucks may not have been tightened enough at the factory, so it can work loose.

Fuel Tubes May Crack and Leak, Creating Fire Risk
Certain diesel trucks may have fuel tubes between the fuel rail and the injectors for cylinders four, five, and six that can fatigue and crack over time.

Loose Steering Tie Rod Clamps Can Cause Steering Loss
Certain 2021 and 2022 Freightliner and Custom Chassis vehicles may have loose tie rod clamps.
Fuel Leak Can Cause Fire in Diesel Trucks

Steering bolts may fracture, risking loss of steering
Certain heavy-duty trucks have steering arm and tie rod bolts that may contain a defective seam, which can cause the bolt to fracture.
Missing Spindle Lock Ring Can Cause Wheel Separation
A locking snap ring on the left steer axle spindle nut may be incorrectly installed or missing.
