“Freightliner Coronado 2017 Power Train Recall: Wheel Separation Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 9, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1225918-freightliner-coronado-2017-power-train-recall-wheel-separation-risk. Based on NHTSA recall #16V634000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=16V634000).
Why it’s dangerous
The front axle hubs have a weight limit that may exceed the hub's capacity, causing the hub to fail and the wheel to separate from the axle. This separation could lead to a crash if the wheel becomes dislodged during operation.
Who’s affected
Owners of 2017 Freightliner Coronado trucks with Conmet aluminum non-high capacity hubs manufactured between March 2013 and July 2016 are affected. Commercial truck drivers using these vehicles face the highest risk.
