2011 Freightliner Business Class M2 Recall

Issued March 10, 2011
Issue
Hazard description
Certain trucks were equipped with headlights that fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The Standard requires headlights not be mounted lower than 559 mm and not higher than 1372 mm above the road surface. Improper headlamp height may result in incomplete illumination of the road surface, or may inhibit the ability of seeing pedestrians and other road users. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will measure headlamp height and, for vehicles with lamps beyond the limit, will install new headlamps that lower the bulb center.
