IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

See enclosed VIN list

Subject: Braking System Platform Single Modulator Valves

 

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

 

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its Freightliner Trucks Division, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on specific Model Year 2017-2021 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles manufactured March 8, 2016, through June 25, 2020.

 

On certain vehicles, chemical corrosion could affect the functionality of the single brake modulator valve, which may result in slow release timing of brakes on the affected side.  A slow release of the brake on one side during an active brake request (i.e. automatic braking events), could lead to a brake pull resulting in a sudden change in vehicle direction due to uneven braking on the front axle, increasing the risk of a motor vehicle crash.  Regular service brakes are not affected.

Work Instructions

Subject: Braking System Platform Single Modulator Valves

Models Affected: Specific Model Year 2017-2021 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles manufactured March 8, 2016, through June 25, 2020.

IMPORTANT: Due to parts availability ,this campaign will be released in phases. The phase will be determined based on vehicle age, vehicle miles, and corrosion factors. You must confirm a vehicle displays FL855 on the OWL Coverage Info screen before proceeding.

PLEASE DO NOT OVERSTOCK KITS, AND DO NOT PERFORM ON VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT YET ACTIVE IN OWL.

 

Front Modulator Valve Replacement

1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL855 (Form WAR260) indicating this work has been done.

If there is no sticker, proceed with the next step.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake. Chock the tires.

3. Open the hood.

NOTE: Both the left and right modulator valves must be replaced.

4. Locate the modulator valve on the left-front frame rail behind the wheel. See Fig. 1.

5. Using the flat end of a screwdriver, disconnect the electrical modulator valve connector on the front side of the frame rail above the front axle. See Fig. 2.

6. Remove the ABS zip tie from the modulator mounting bolt. See Fig. 3.

7. Using special tool NQ307001-1 in kit number NQ307001, disconnect the plastic air line from the modulator

9. Using a 7/8 inch wrench, remove the threaded air line that goes from the modulator to the brake chamber. See Fig. 7.

NOTE: The fitting hits the frame rail when it is turned and cannot be removed. However, it is easier to loosen the fitting while the modulator is attached to the vehicle.

10. Using a 23 mm wrench, loosen the brake chamber air line fitting on the modulator valve. See Fig. 8.

11. Using a 1/2 inch socket wrench, remove the two modulator valve mounting bolts, then remove the modulator valve from the vehicle.

12. Using a 23 mm wrench, remove the brake chamber air line fitting from the modulator valve.

IMPORTANT: Be careful when applying sealant to the threads of the air line fitting to avoid internal contamination of the air system.

13. Clean any old sealant off of the threads and apply Loctite® 567 on the quick connect fitting.

14. Using a 23 mm wrench install the brake chamber air line fitting on the new modulator valve.

15. Using a 1/2 inch socket wrench and the new bolts, spacers, and washers from the kit, install the modulator on the vehicle. Tighten the bolts 11 lbf·ft (15 N·m). See Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, and Fig. 12.

16. Using a 7/8 inch wrench, install the threaded air line that goes from the modulator valve to the brake chamber.

IMPORTANT: Be careful when applying sealant to the threads of the air line fitting to avoid internal contamination of the air system.

17. Clean any old sealant off of the threads and apply Loctite® 567 on the quick connect fitting.

18. Using a 7/8 inch wrench install the quick connect fitting on the modulator valve.

19. Attach the plastic air line to the modulator.

20. Install the ABS zip tie on the modulator mounting bolt (to prevent chafing). See Fig. 3.

21. Connect the electrical modulator valve connector.

22. Repeat the procedure for the modulator valve on the other side of the vehicle.

23. Close the hood.

24. Build air pressure to check for leaks and perform six full brake applications in the parking lot to verify proper brake performance.

25. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL855, on a blank red completion sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this recall has been completed.
