Sterling (Ford) Cargo

The Cargo name is well known globally, having been built in Turkey, India and various other nations under the Ford Cargo name and others. The North Americans got the Cargo as a Sterling, Ford, and a Freightliner until 2007. Plenty of examples can still be seen working, primarily in urban areas (like NYC, where this unit operates).

DEFECT #1 - STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY


Posted on: 2001-02-28
Description
Vehicle description: trucks, school bus and motor home chassis, and transit buses equipped with tie rod assemblies manufactured by trw.  The suspect tie rods contain 24-dl model ball sockets.  Certain of the tie rod ball-socket bearings have a below-specification case depth and/or hardness, which can lead to premature wear of the socket.

Consequence
If this condition occurs, the driver can lose partial control of the right front wheel, possibly resulting in a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the defective ball sockets and/or drag links.  Owner notification began may 22, 2001.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or trw customer service at 1-866-280-3287.

Notes
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
