Electrical arc from power stud can cause fire

Clutch Can Fail, Allowing Vehicle to Move Unexpectedly
An internal component inside the clutch assembly may fail.

Some 2019 Freightliner Custom Chassis vehicles equipped with air disc brakes may have brake caliper mounting bolts that were not tightened enough during assembly.
