   Exterior Lighting

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2006-2020 Freightliner Columbia, 2006-2021 Freightliner Business Class M2, 2007-2020 Freightliner Coronado, 2014-2021 Freightliner 122 SD, 2007 Sterling A 9500, 2006 Freightliner Argosy, 2006-2007 Sterling AT9500, 2008-2021 Freightliner Cascadia, 2006-2008 Freightliner Classic, 2006-2011 Freightliner Century Class, 2006-2010 Freightliner FLD, and 2017 Western Star 5700 vehicles. The rear reflective tape may be partially covered by the mudflap hanger bracket, which may reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers on the road. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The vehicle's rearward visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and reposition the reflective tape to ensure that it is completely visible, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began May 29, 2020. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL848.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2012-2015 Freightliner Cascadia, Coronado, Business Class M2, 114SD, and Western Star 4900 trucks. In certain front axle, brake lining, and brake spider combinations, braking may cause high vibrations, resulting in early failure of the tie-rod tube.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A tie-rod failure would cause a disconnect between the front wheels, resulting in a loss of steering ability, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake linings, brake spider, and tie-rod, free of charge. The recall began March 22, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL782.

   Report filed by Daimler Trucks North America LLC. Manufacturer campaign number FL782. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 22 Mar 2019.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   DTNA will notify owners, and instruct them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on April 11, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712, or contact Kidde customer service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on "Product Safety Recall" for more information.

   Trailer Hitches / Fifth Wheel Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Cascadia, Business Class M2, Coronado, and Columbia Glider vehicles manufactured April 5, 2010, to June 15, 2013. The affected trucks are equipped with Fontaine Ultra LT Fifth Wheel connectors, which, due to cumulative damage to the fifth wheel and its locking mechanism, have a locking mechanism that may fail to operate or to properly engage.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the fifth wheel and locking mechanism are sufficiently damaged, the locking mechanism may fail to operate as intended and the trailer may unexpectedly detach from the tractor, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   DTNA will notify owners, and DTNA authorized service facilities will replace the fifth wheel with an Ultra NT model fifth wheel, free of charge. The recall began on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-692.

   Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Cascadia and Coronado vehicles manufactured between November 21, 2011, and April 3, 2013. In the affected vehicles, when the ignition is off and the door is opened without the parking brake applied, the dashboard does not display the correct message of "Park Brake Off Door Open."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Without the proper warning, a driver may not be reminded to apply the parking brake which may lead to a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will update then display software. The safety recall began on June 6, 2013. Owners may contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712. Daimler's recall campaign number is FL-642.

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2012 Cascadia and Coronado tractor trailers manufactured from August 1, 2011, through December 30, 2011, equipped with Thermo King TriPac Auxiliary Power Units (APU), serial numbers 3000106335 to 3000127584, manufactured from July 29, 2011, through November 7, 2011. The maintenance access panel door on the bottom of the APU may dislodge and separate.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

The air tank mounting brackets may develop cracks which can lead to the air tank brackets separating from the frame rail. The air tanks may also separate from the vehicle.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Service Brakes, Air / Supply / Quick Release Valve

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 freightliner 108sd, business class m2, cascadia, coronado vehicles, equipped with a haldex quick release valve, and manufactured from february 3, 2012, through march 2, 2012. The quick release valve cover may not be correctly manufactured, allowing the cover to become separated from the valve body. If the cover separates from the valve body, the front brakes may not function.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If this condition occurs, increased vehicle stopping distance may result, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dtna will notify owners, and where necessary, the quick release valve will be replaced by dtna authorized service facilities, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin before june 15, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

   Report filed by DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. Manufacturer campaign number FL-625. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 27 Jun 2012.

9. 12V074000Received 28 Feb 2012. 103,437 units.

   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Diesel

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 freightliner, sterling, and western star vehicles, equipped with detroit diesel epa07 and epa10, dd13 and dd15/16 engines, manufactured from january 20, 2006, through february 20, 2012. The pump to rail high pressure fuel line support system used on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work. As a result of other repairs, the line supports may loosen, potentially leading to fuel line cracking and a fuel leak.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A fuel leak could create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Also a fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dtna will notify owners, and where necessary, the high pressure fuel line support system will be replaced by dtna authorized service facilities, free of charge. The safety recall began on april 27, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

   Report filed by DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. Manufacturer campaign number 12C-2. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 27 Apr 2012.

10. 11V474000Received 15 Sep 2011. 6,225 units.

    Engine and Engine Cooling

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2011- 2012 business class m2 and coronado trucks manufactured from september 1, 2010, through december 31, 2010, equipped with a cummins isx or isl diesel engine. The v-band clamp assembly, part numbers q187684, q187685, and q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (dpf) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/dpf housing to disconnect.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/dpf housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Daimler trucks is working with cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign. Repairs will be performed by authorized cummins dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on october 10, 2011. Owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.

    Report filed by DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. Manufacturer campaign number FL-611. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 10 Oct 2011.

11. 11V465000Received 8 Sep 2011. 4,444 units.

    Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 freightliner business class m2, cascadia, century, columbia, coronado and sterling a-line vehicles built with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) system manufactured from september 15, 2005 through september 1, 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Daimler trucks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ESC module with the appropriate software version as necessary, free of charge. An interim owner notification will be mailed on or about november 21, 2011. The date for availability of the final remedy is subject to validation testing and parts availability. The safety recall began on march 28, 2012. Owners may contact daimler trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.

    Report filed by DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. Manufacturer campaign number FL-612. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 28 Mar 2012.

12. 11V403000Received 9 Aug 2011. 256 units.

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

    Dtna is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 coronado vehicles equipped with a set forward front axle and a logger bumper with a center tow device manufactured from march 9, 2010, through july 16, 2011. Certain bumper mounting brackets may crack.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    If not repaired, the crack may lead to the bumper falling off of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Dtna will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bumper mounting brackets free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during november 2011. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.

    Report filed by DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA. Manufacturer campaign number FL-610. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 Oct 2011.

13. 11V330000Received 21 Jun 2011. 48,170 units.

    Electrical System / 12v/24v/48v Battery / Cables

    Defect, in the NHTSA record

The bolt attaching a rubber isolator to a support bracket may become loose and back out, potentially contacting an un-fused starter cable and creating a short circuit.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record

    A short circuit between an un-fused battery cable and chassis ground could result in a vehicle fire.

    Remedy, in the NHTSA record

    Dealers will install a new bolt and isolator and repair the recreational vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on december 21, 2011. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.
