Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 36 specific trucks, including 2022-2023 Western Star 4700 and 2023 Western Star 4900, 49X, 6900, and Freightliner 114SD models. The tie rod clamps on these vehicles may have been improperly heat-treated, which can cause them to crack and allow the tie rods to become disconnected. Authorized dealers will replace the affected tie rod clamps with new parts free of charge to ensure the steering system remains secure.
If the tie rod clamps crack and the tie rods separate, the driver could experience a sudden and complete loss of steering control. This failure significantly increases the risk of a serious vehicle crash.
Free replacement of tie rod clamps.
