Freightliner Coronado recalls
Risk: Drag link separation can cause a complete loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A loose mounting pivot bolt may cause the upper bunk to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
Risk: Unapproved tires that are not rated for the vehicle can cause tire performance issues, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Incorrect weight rating information on the certification labels could result in potential overloading of the axles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: The vehicle's rearward visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the fuel line bursts, fuel may leak onto the road resulting in a roadway hazard for other motorists. The engine may also stall without warning, resulting in the vehicle's inability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: Loose brake caliper mounting bolts can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A tie-rod failure would cause a disconnect between the front wheels, resulting in a loss of steering ability, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Risk: If a wheel separates from the axle, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Risk: If the fifth wheel and locking mechanism are sufficiently damaged, the locking mechanism may fail to operate as intended and the trailer may unexpectedly detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: While traveling at highway speeds, brake drag may cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: While traveling at highway speeds, brake drag may cause loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Risk: If the door separates from the APU while the vehicle is being driven, it may create a road hazard for other drivers.
Risk: Air tanks that become separated from a moving vehicle may create a road debris hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the spindle fails, the wheel may separate from the knuckle, resulting in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If this condition occurs, increased vehicle stopping distance may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: A fuel leak could create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Also a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
Risk: The steering could unexpectedly turn left or right, making the vehicle more difficult to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Risk: If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Risk: If the driver is slow to react during this esc intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel increasing the risk of a crash.
