Freightliner FS-65 recalls in Canada
Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.
Brakes
On certain school buses the brake hoses from the chassis to front brake chambers could develop leaks due to the hose routing that could overstress the hose during sharp turns. The vehicle could have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect for improper routing. If improper routing is found, dealers will replace and correct the hose routing.

Electrical
On certain vehicles, an electrical pass-through connector may not fit in the firewall mounting hole correctly, resulting in the connector dislodging and an electrical terminal contacting the firewall. This can cause an electrical short and potential fire. Correction: Dealers will inspect vehicles for proper mounting of the electrical pass through and correct if necessary.
