Recall 23V453000 · manufacturer campaign FL978

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner eCascadia vehicles. The service brake system may incorrectly calculate the vehicle mass, which can impair the electronic stability control system performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles."

The risk

An impaired electronic stability control program may have a delayed response or insufficient braking force when activated, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will update the ABS controller software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 23, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL978.

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.nhtsa.gov.
