Scania Truck 4 Series: Possible Defective Silencer Seam
Recall Summary Scania is recalling approximately 4,450 Truck 4 Series and Truck 3 Series vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because the silencer seam may be defective, allowing exhaust gas to escape and potentially melt a nearby plastic brake pipe. This could cause the spring brakes to apply unexpectedly while driving. Scania will reinforce or replace the silencer seams to fix the problem.
