Each of these 54 campaigns covers a range of production, not every Freightliner Coronado ever built — two cars of the same year can differ by a single week at the plant. Whether yours is among them, and whether the free repair was already carried out, NHTSA's own VIN lookup or any Freightliner dealer can tell you.

Frequently asked questions

How many recalls does the Freightliner Coronado have?

54 NHTSA campaigns on record, covering 2001–2023. Not every campaign applies to every car — coverage is by production range, so check your VIN.

Is recall work free?

Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer regardless of the car's age, mileage or how many owners it has had. That is a federal requirement, not a courtesy.

How do I know if my Coronado still has an open recall?

Enter its VIN above to see every recall for its model year. Whether the repair was already done on that exact car, NHTSA's own VIN lookup or any Freightliner dealer can tell you.

Why did a defect take years to be recalled?

On this model the average gap between the car being built and the defect being admitted is 2.86 years, and the slowest campaign came 15 years later. Defects usually surface as they accumulate in the field: complaints pile up, an investigation opens, and only then is a campaign issued.

Recall campaigns from NHTSA, published as filed. Years elapsed before admission computed by ForCar from the campaign number, which encodes the year it was announced. Last updated Nov 2026. — ForCar Reviewed by , founder of ForCar.
