Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 77V121000 by Freightliner Llc. Includes 163 affected units, WHEELS:OTHER, component: WHEELS, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

On the involved vehicles, cracks may develop at the base of the inner wheel bearing cup and propagate circumferentially around the barrel of the hub. A fracture between the inner hub end and the flange portion of the hub could eventually develop. Failure could occur causing hub separation. Continued operation after hub separation has occurred could result in lock-up of brake assembly, excessive heat generation due to brake lining to drum contact, and progressive damage to the hub, causing the separated hub with the wheel and tire to disengage from the truck.

Corrective Action

Dealer will replace the aluminum hubs with steel hub, cup and stud assemblies, without charge to owner.
