What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Freightliner Business Class M2 trucks. The engine harness may contact and chafe at various locations around the air compressor and the frame rail. If the wires are damaged, they may short circuit, possibly causing an engine stall.

The risk

A engine stall may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for adequate clearance between harness and engine, and for any engine harness damage. Vehicles with a damaged harness will receive a new harness. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began October 5, 2020. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-858.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
