1984–1985 Freightliner C.O.E. Recall

THE TUBULAR GRABHANDLE FOR CAB INGRESS/EGRESS IS HELD IN PLACE BY THREE BRACKETS AT TOP, MIDDLE AND BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. THE CENTRE BRACKET CONTAINS A RIVET WHICH SECURES THE TUBE IN THE BRACKET. THE DEFECT OCCURS IF THE RIVET IS NOT IN THE PROPER ALIGNMENT, WHICH RESULTS IN SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE RIVET HEAD AND THE BRACKET. THIS COULD ALLOW A RING FINGER TO BE CAUGHT IN THE GAP AND RESULT IN INJURY TO A PERSON GETTING OUT OF THE CAB.
