I have a 2012 Freightliner that I've rebadged as MB.
I found out this morning that the airbag recall hasn't been done on the van. So I called around and gave them my VIN number, and it turns out that the complete steering wheel is to be replaced. So that means I will get a new steering wheel with the Freightliner badge. Of course the part numbers called out for replacement reflect a steering wheel with the FL badge, as the MB steering wheel is different part number. The FL shop claimed they can't deviate from that and use a MB steering wheel instead, or they won't get paid for it (even though we all know it's the same part with a different logo only). I'm told I can only get a steering wheel with the FL logo.
So here's my question..... has anyone had this recall performed (where they changed the complete steering wheel), and were you able to ask for the badge you want? Or what badge did you get?
Thanks,
