The problem
Farber Specialty Vehicles (Farber) is recalling certain specialty vehicles built on 2018 Freightliner XCR chassis equipped with air disc brakes. The brake caliper mounting bolts may not have been sufficiently tightened.
The risk
Loose brake caliper mounting bolts can reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.

Farber will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will inspect and repair the vehicles as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 15, 2019. Owners may contact Farber customer service at 1-800-331-3188.
