Service bulletins

1 bulletin

Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

SIL 788

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Altec has discovered that the cast aluminum bumper support brackets used by Freightliner on some affected units have cracked in the field. This can cause a lack of proper support for the front bumper and the cab guard on the vehicle. Altec requires the bumper support brackets on the chassis to be inspected no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 30 days from the receipt of this SIL, whichever comes first. Affected units are certain LR7 aerial devices built on Freightliner M2-106 chassis from April 2016 through November 2019.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
