Service bulletin CSR 3083

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Daimler Truck North America that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety, compliance, or emissions in certain 2019 through 2021 model year Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, 122SD, Business Class M2, Cascadia, Columbia, and Coronado model vehicles that is equipped with Altec equipment. On the affected vehicles, the drag link taper joint at the steering arm may not have been tightened sufficiently and may come loose. This may result in a gradual loosening of the joint, causing a loss of steering control, which increases the risk of a crash. A loose joint may be detected by pre-trip inspections, loose steering, wandering, noises or vibration.
