VICTORIA, Australia – Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific Pty Ltd. has issued a recall notice for seven model-year 2019 trucks due to a potential braking issue, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The recall, ACCC campaign number RC3178-FL845, covers the Freightliner Argosy, Century Class (CST112) and Coronado trucks which might have caliper-mounting bolts which do not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate.
“The inadequate clamping force may potentially reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of an accident,” said the ACCC post. “Owners are requested to contact any authorized Freightliner dealer who will inspect the brake caliper mounting bolts and replace if required.”
