  • Freightliner M2date unknown
    FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLYUS

    Due to the area of its placement, the exhaust system forces heat around, and may overheat, the fuel system components, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.

  • Freightliner M2date unknown
    FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLYUS

    If the valve is stuck closed, the flow of fuel would be blocked from the fuel container to the engine. Such a condition poses a safety risk to service personnel as there is no safe way to depressurize the fuel system and service the subject valve when it is stuck in the closed position, increasing the risk of injury to the service personnel. There may also be a small fuel leak through the valve stem when the valve seat becomes detached, increasing the risk of fire. The affected fuel container may also become over-pressurized if the stuck valve goes undetected for a period of time, or is not repaired in a timely manner, and the ambient temperature increases significantly.

  • Freightliner M2date unknown
    PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:AIRUS

    If the parking brake applies without warning while driving and without activating the brake lights, there is an increased risk of a crash.

  • Freightliner M2date unknown
