Does this affect my vehicle?
This recall covers vehicles built between December 2003 and September 2005. If yours was built outside that window, it is not part of this recall.
- 2003-2005 Haulmark Motor CoachBuilt December 2003 to September 2005
What the defect is
On certain recreational vehicles, the rear spring hanger brackets may not have been installed in accordance with haulmark's specifications during the modification process. This condition could cause the spring hanger fasteners to lose torque and fail.
What could happen
Should the spring hanger fasteners fail, the axle may disconnect from the frame, resulting in a loss of vehicle control and, potentially, a crash.
What gets fixed
AN AUTHORIZED FREIGHTLINER DEALER WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE SPRING HANGER FASTENERS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING OCTOBER 2005.

No owner-notification date has been published yet. Manufacturers normally write to registered owners within 60 days of reporting a recall.
Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 4 October 2005.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.
Manufacturer contact
Owners may contact haulmark at 866-760-8195 to locate the closest freightliner dealer to make arrangements to have their vehicle inspected.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
