IF THEY ARE RETROFIT, FREIGHTLINER WILL SEND PERSONNEL AND PARTS TO ADD AN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, INSTALL THE REQUIRED CERTIFICATION, AND TIRE INFORMATION LABELS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FREIGHTLINER AT 800-547-0712.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
