Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 61 vehicles, including 2025 Freightliner Cascadia, 114SD, and Western Star 47X and 49X models. These trucks are equipped with Composolite EXS20 steerable lift axle suspension assemblies that may have an improperly heat-treated tie rod ball stud. This defect can cause the ball stud to fail and separate from the vehicle, creating a significant road hazard. Dealers will replace the affected tie rod assembly for free to resolve the issue.
If the tie rod ball stud fails and separates from the vehicle, it becomes a road hazard and can cause a sudden loss of steering control or a collision, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free replacement of the tie rod assembly.
