Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Farber Specialty Vehicles is recalling one 2021 Freightliner XC, 340HP vehicle because of a defect in the vehicle's circuit board. An incorrectly installed resistor can disrupt communication within the vehicle's network, causing all exterior lighting to fail. Although the single affected vehicle was already repaired in July 2022, Farber is providing this notice to ensure the issue is officially addressed.

Risk

If the vehicle lighting fails while driving, the driver’s visibility will be significantly reduced, and the vehicle will be less visible to other drivers, greatly increasing the risk of a crash.
