The DAF XF is, as we have said, a very sturdy and well-built tractor unit, so there have been very few major component failures reported. Nothing mechanical is completely faultless, however, so here’s a list of things operators have told us may crop up:

1. Hub seals

Larger fleets report a noticeably high number of instances where hub seals need replacing.

2. Brake discs

Replacing brake discs often requires the hub to be sent away to a specialist to have the seized mounting bolts drilled out. DAF sells a complete new disc and hub assembly on an exchange basis.
