Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 266 vehicles including certain 2020-2024 Freightliner Cascadia, 2021-2024 Freightliner M2 Business Class, 2022 Western Star 4700, and 2020 Freightliner Classic Cascadia trucks. These vehicles are equipped with a specific electronic stability control and tire combination that may cause the vehicle to understeer during a J-turn. This issue means the trucks do not comply with federal safety standards for heavy vehicle stability, and Daimler will replace the affected tires with a new set free of charge.
Understeering during a sharp maneuver like a J-turn can cause the vehicle to not turn as much as the driver intends, which increases the likelihood of a crash.
