Summary

Fontaine Modification Company is recalling 176 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles from model years 2022 through 2024. The intermediate steering shaft assembly in these vehicles may have welds that can crack and fail over time. If these welds fail, the steering shaft could detach from the steering column, leading to a loss of steering control. To address this safety issue, Fontaine Modification will replace the intermediate steering shaft in affected vehicles at no cost to the owner.
