Vehicle report
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.
TERE-07012022-01
Request to perform and document an inspection of an area, for welding issues, that was mailed to 4 customers, for total of 6 units. Documentation is not normal for the daily pre-shift inspection to be documented but is requested to verify no issues made it into the field. It is to evaluate if any units escaped production testing.

PA688 information was sent to users that Freightliner chassis may have an interference issue with the rear ride height control on triple axle trucks. The control arm may extend above the top of the frame rails and be damaged. Owners were mailed the bulletin and it is posted to the web site for installations performed by other entities. Users are instructed to bring the vehicle to Freightliner dealers if issue is found.
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.
