Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 24,282 vehicles, specifically the 2020-2021 Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star 49X models. During certain heavy braking events, the hazard warning lights may flash improperly, which fails to meet federal safety standards for lighting and reflective equipment. Dealers will provide a free software update to correct how the hazard lights function during these events.
Hazard lights that do not flash correctly can confuse other drivers on the road, particularly during emergency braking situations, which increases the overall risk of a crash.
