Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 200 of its 2022-2023 Western Star 49X and 47X trucks because a steering component was installed incorrectly. Specifically, a pinch bolt on the steering shaft joint may come loose or detach entirely, which can lead to a complete loss of steering control. To address this safety hazard, authorized dealers will inspect the joint and perform any necessary repairs free of charge.
If the steering shaft bolt detaches, the driver may lose the ability to steer the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Free dealer inspection and repair of the steering joint.
