Freightliner M2 Business Class 2015-2017: Air Pressure Loss Risk
Daimler Trucks North America recalls 2015-2017 Freightliner M2 Business Class trucks with potential air pressure loss in brakes, risking sudden parking brake activation and crashes.
Use caution until it’s fixed
A rapid loss of air pressure in the secondary system could cause a similar rapid loss of pressure in the primary system, which may lead to a sudden application of the parking brakes. This could increase the risk of a crash.
