Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 541 vehicles, including 2025 Freightliner Cascadia, 108SD, 114SD, Business Class M2, and Western Star 47X and 49X models. This recall also affects certain Freightliner Custom Chassis S2RV 106 and S2C 106 transit buses and chassis. The front axle tie rod ball joint studs in these vehicles can crack and break, potentially leading to the tie rod separating from the steering system. Dealers will replace the tie rod assembly with a new one at no cost to the owner.
The tie rod is a critical component that connects the steering system to the wheels; if it separates, the driver will suffer a sudden and complete loss of steering control. This failure significantly increases the risk of a serious crash.
Dealers will replace the tie rod assembly free of charge.
