Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 7 heavy trucks, including certain 2024-2025 Western Star 49X and 2025 Freightliner Cascadia models. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) software in these vehicles was programmed with incorrect axle spacing parameters, which means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for heavy vehicle stability. Dealers will provide a free software update to correct the error.
Incorrect software parameters can decrease the vehicle's stability or braking performance during certain maneuvers. This failure to properly stabilize the truck increases the risk of a crash.
