Daimler Trucks North America, LLC: FCCC MT45/MT45G and Freightliner Cascadia Recalled for Loss of Steering Control

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 11 vehicles, including certain 2024 FCCC MT45G, MT45, and Freightliner Cascadia models. These vehicles contain steering gear assemblies that may have been put together incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than necessary. This manufacturing defect can lead to a sudden loss of steering control, and authorized dealers will replace the steering gears for free.

Risk

If the steering gear is missing internal components, the steering system can fail, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This significantly increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle registration or VIN to determine if your 2024 FCCC MT45G, FCCC MT45, or Freightliner Cascadia truck is one of the 11 affected units.
  2. If your vehicle is affected, contact Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) customer service at 1-800-745-8000 to schedule a free steering gear replacement. Mention recall number FL995.
  3. You may also contact your local Freightliner or FCCC dealer directly to arrange for the free repair.
