Most recent first. Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. Click a recall for the full defect, consequence and remedy text.
-
Mechanical (parking brake)
The parking brake lever may not travel far enough over center to assure that it remains in the proper position allowing the vehicle to roll away while parked.
Remedy: Dealers will remove and replace the parking brake lever with a lever that requires a 25 lb. Effort to release.
-
Chamber (service brakes)
The brake chamber mounting studs can loosen or pull through due to fatigue in the brake chamber housing caused by foundation brake chatter.
Remedy: Dealers will change the brake lining materials, replace the wing bracket with a reinforced bracket and install brake chambers with reinforced chamber housing and larger (1/2") mounting studs.
-
Anchorage (seat belts)
A number of cabs were assembled with fewer welds than specified in the upper b pillar near the anchorage for the seat belt. Welding materials used on the inboard anchorage bracket under the cab deck will not meet FMVSS no. 210 load test requirements when three seating positions are provided.
Remedy: Add reinforcement welds in the upper b pillar and add fasteners to the lower deck anchorage bracket.

Checking a specific 1992 Freightliner FL-60
How do I know if my 1992 Freightliner FL-60 has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 3 campaigns currently list the 1992 Freightliner FL-60; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Freightliner dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 92V057000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
