2002–2006 Freightliner Custom Chassis (Fccc) Mt45 Van Chassis Recall

Issued December 2, 2005
Issue
Hazard description
Certain van chassis' manufactured by Freightliner Custom Chassis were equipped with front hubs rated for a GAWR of only 6,000 lb instead of 7,000 lb. An overloaded front hub may fatigue prematurely and fracture allowing the front wheel to separate from the vehicle and cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Note: Further evaluation by Gunite Corporation (the hub manufacturer) revealed that, although initially rated for 6,000 lb, the hub is capable of handling a GAWR of 7,000 lb, therefore no corrective action is required.
