2019 Freightliner M2 Business Class recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019 Freightliner eBusiness Class M2 vehicles equipped with 14Xe ePowertrains. The stator assembly wires may have been insufficiently crimped, causing high resistance, overheating, and preventing the high voltage system from starting.
💥 The risk
A loss of power to the system may cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the motor stator, free of charge. All units were remedied by July 13, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-889.
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.)
