Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Fontaine Modification is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Freightliner M2 trucks manufactured between January 2, 2006, and January 23, 2015, and modified by Fontaine to have dual steering. In these vehicles, the brake lights will not illuminate if the primary brake air supply drops below 6 psi. This means if the primary brake air system fails and the truck must rely on the secondary brake air system, the brake lights may not turn on when brakes are applied, increasing crash risk. The affected vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121 requirements for air brake systems.
Fontaine will notify owners of the recall, which began on June 12, 2015. Dealers will install a repair kit to fix the issue at no charge to owners. Affected consumers should contact Fontaine customer service at 1-800-366-8246.
