What's wrong?
The tire and certification label on the 2005 Freightliner Business Class M2 106V is the placard that tells an owner or service shop the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Cold pressure means the tire pressure before the truck has been driven and before heat raises the reading. That label is the quick reference used when matching tire pressure to the truck's tire and rim setup.
On this recall, the label is missing the recommended cold tire inflation pressures required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120. The tire, wheel, and door are not described as broken in the filing. The defect is the missing pressure information, which leaves the owner or technician without the required label guidance when checking or setting tire pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure because this recall concerns missing label information, not a part that changes how the truck feels while driving. The problem is visible only when the label is checked and the cold tire inflation pressure information is absent.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific truck.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect or missing tire inflation guidance can lead an owner to use the wrong pressure. That raises the chance of tire failure and increases crash risk. Check the tire label information before loading or driving, and confirm the label correction with the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Freightliner dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2005 Freightliner Business Class M2 106V is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Freightliner dealer to ask about the corrected tire-inflation label replacement.
- Reference recall number 11V077 when you call Freightliner or the dealer.
- Bring the recall notice if Freightliner mailed one, along with your current registration.
- Follow the tire-inflation label already on the truck only after the dealer confirms it is correct.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Freightliner technician replaces the incomplete tire and rim information label with a corrected label that lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures. This is a label repair, not a tire replacement. The notice states that the label replacement is free and that the safety recall began on January 31, 2011. Because the remedy status is not marked available in this article data, confirm with the Freightliner dealer that the corrected label is ready before arranging service. The final dealer repair is free once available.
