Narrative

The contact filed the complaint on behalf of the contact's son. The contact's son was the operator of a 2026 FTL MM Business Class M2. The contact stated that while the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was uncontrollable. The vehicle independently drove off the road, crashed into a covert, crashed into a fence and then crashed into a hay bail. In addition, the vehicle rolled three times before coming to a stop. The airbags failed to deploy as intended. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The contact's son was DOA. A Police report was filed. The State Trooper informed the contact that there was no indication of why the vehicle left the road. The contact researched and discovered a recall, NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V760000 (Suspension), which had a similar failure description. The manufacturer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The contact was advised to contact the local freight liner dealer.
