Details

What's wrong: The return springs can break on the accelerator pedals that are equipped with stainless steel or electroplated music wire return springs.

Why it matters: This condition could cause the pedal to go to full throttle if both return springs break, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Replacement accelerator pedals equipped with return springs manufactured of music wire with one additional coil on each spring and with an organic coating, eliminating electroplating will be installed. Freightliner is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign.
