2019–2020 Freightliner Business Class M2 & 2020 Freightliner 108SD recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Business Class M2 and 2020 108SD vehicles equipped with Meritor MX 120 EVO Front Drive Steer axles. The axles may have insufficient lubrication, which may result in damage to the wheel end bearings.
💥 The risk
If the bearings are damaged, the wheel may separate and cause a sudden loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of crash.
🔧 The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the wheel end components, as necessary, free of charge. DTNA issued owners an interim notification on August 7, 2019. The recall began September 10, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-817.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
