crooked steering wheel

Picked up a new 45A and was driving it home from the dealership and noticed the steering wheel is not straight when driving down the road (no wind). Kind of disappointing on a new coach to find this out once you sign the dotted line. I guess I should have test drove it 1st lol.

Easy to fix on an alignment machine.

My 2021 34b was the same way. Took it to freightliner and they fixed it under warranty.

Download the Freightliner 24/7 app but here is the help line number: 800-385-4357. When searching for a Freightliner facility an OASIS facility will be your best option. Those are usually larger facilities with more bays and more techs available.

I took my 2021 in brand new and they said they wouldn’t cover the alignment. Did you have to call Freightliner?
