A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 85V081000
- Manufacturer: FREIGHTLINER CORP.
- Reported: 1985\-06\-21
- Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
- Units potentially affected: 3000

## What is wrong

CHANGE IN VENDOR'S PRODUCTION TOOLING RESULTED IN A FIT   BETWEEN THE RADIATOR CAP AND FILLER NECK WHICH MAY BE TOO LOOSE.                                                                                                  CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE LOOSE FIT COULD ALLOW THE CAP TO BE REMOVED BEFORE    INTERNAL PRESSURE IS COMPLETELY RELEASED. HOT RADIATOR COOLANT MIGHT THEN BE     SPRAYED ON THE PERSON OPENING THE CAP OR OTHERS IN THE VICINITY.


## The remedy

THE DEFECTIVE FILLER NECK ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED TO        CORRECT THIS MALFUNCTION.
