Issue

On certain Freightliner M2 106 trucks, the chassis hose bundle may have been incorrectly secured by Altec Industries during the installation of their aerial device or digger derrick assembly. A kinked front brake hose would result in a loss of front brake function which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Freightliner dealers will replace the front brake hoses.
