Daimler Trucks North America, LLC: Freightliner Trucks Recalled for Drag Link Separation and Loss of Steering

Agency Publication Date: February 20, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 60,604 vehicles including 2019-2021 Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, 122SD, Columbia, Coronado, Business Class M2, and 2020 Freightliner Cascadia trucks. The drag link taper joint in these vehicles may not have been tightened sufficiently during manufacturing and could come loose over time. If the drag link separates from the steering arm, the driver will experience a complete loss of steering control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and repair the joint as necessary for free.

Risk

The drag link can completely detach from the steering arm while driving. This results in an immediate and total loss of steering control, making it impossible for the driver to steer the vehicle.
