Complaint Summary
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:HOSES/LINES/PIPING/FITTINGS
Owner Narrative
The contact, a mobile technician from All Fleet Inc Truck and Trailer Repair was contacted to provide roadside assistance for a 2025 Freightliner Cascadia that had a check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode while driving. Upon arrival, the technician discovered a radiator leak. The radiator lines run along the back of the auxiliary power unit and the upper radiator hose was designed to lay on top of the electrical connector. The electrical connector rubbed a hole in the radiator line while driving, causing the leak. The technician removed the electrical connector from the bracket and secured it with a zip tie. The vehicle was then towed to the facility, where another technician replaced the radiator hose. The failure mileage was 225,546.
