Freightliner is recalling 450 MY 2005-2008 Columbia, Century ST, Coronado, and Classic XL trucks equipped with rack and pinion steering. The ball socket assembly at the inner end of the driver side tie rod may be damaged in a sharp turn. Excessive tie rod angles may loosen the tie rod in the ball socket or damage the threaded tie rod socket attachment to the steering rack on the driver side. The threaded end of the ball socket assembly may fracture and separate. A fractured tie rod assembly will make the vehicle more difficult to control at higher speeds and a crash may occur. Dealers will change the front axle steering stops to prevent interference in the tie rod ball socket assembly and steering components will be replaced. The recall is expected to begin on or about October 26, 2007.
