Official summary

DASH announcement for Hendrickson Optimaax 6x2 Lift Axle. Freightliner recently announced the availability of the Hendrickson Optimaax 6x2 lift axle. Due to quality concerns discovered late with pre-series builds, Freightliner has implemented a block in SpecPro as of April 9, 2020, to prevent ordering or quoting of this component until further notice.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
