Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 3,799 vehicles including 2025 Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, Business Class M2, Cascadia, and Western Star 47X models. The front axle tie rods may have ball studs that were incorrectly heat-treated, which can lead to the studs breaking and the tie rod failing. Owners can have their vehicles inspected and repaired by a dealer free of charge.
A failed tie rod can cause a sudden and complete loss of vehicle steering control. This defect significantly increases the risk of a serious crash for the driver and other road users.
Inspection and replacement of the tie rod assembly.
