Build Years/Makes/Models:	2008 FREIGHTLINER CASCADIA
Occurances:
Reference Number:	10374869
Summary:	I HAD MADE AN OBSERVATION THAT THE RS STEER TIRE WAS WEARING VERY FAST AND WORE A NEW TIRE DOWN TO THE WEAR BARS IN 2 MONTHS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO A FREIGHTLINER FACILITY FOR AN ALIGNMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE RACK IN THE RACK AND PINION STEERING MECHANISMS WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY DO NOT MAKE THIS PART ANY LONGER AND HAVE NO SERVICE PARTS. THERE IS NO REMEDY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS PART WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL TO THE POINT WHERE IT BECOMES UNSAFE. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I AM SURE THAT IF IT WEARS A TIRE DOWN IN 2 MONTHS THEN IT IS NOT SETUP PROPERLY AND SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THAT AT THE CURRENT TIME IT IS SAFE. I WILL CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE RS STEER TIRE AND HAVE IT INSPECTED REGULARLY UNTIL EITHER FREIGHTLINER COMES UP WITH A RESOLUTION OR THAT THE NHTSA LOOKS INTO THIS PROBLEM AND DETERMINES IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A RECALL THAT WILL FORCE FREIGHTLINER TO FIX IT.
