1994 Freightliner Fld-120 recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-19. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Seat belts
What's wrong, in plain English: Seat belts may not hold you in a crash. WASHERS WERE NOT INSTALLED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RETRACTOR AND OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT ANCHORS. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS," AND FMVSS NO. 210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES."
What could happen:
The fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL WASHERS AT BOTH LOCATIONS.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 1994 FLD-120.
- Book a repair at any authorized Freightliner dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 95V007000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
