2024 Freightliner Cascadia & 2024 Freightliner MT45 + 1 more recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024 FCCC MT45G, MT45, and Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The steering gear assemblies may have been assembled incorrectly with fewer recirculating balls than are required, which may result in a loss of steering control.
💥 The risk
A loss of steering control increases the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the steering gears, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 5, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for the recall is FL995.
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.)
