Nearly 220,000 trucks recalled
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 200,000 Freightliner and Western Star trucks. According to a release published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the brake modulator valves on the front axle may corrode on some Daimler trucks and cause the vehicle to pull to the affected side during an adaptive cruise control braking event.
Brakes that pull to one side in such a situation may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA said that the recall relates to certain 2017-2023 Freightliner Cascadia, 2020-22 Freightliner Business Class M2, 2021 Freightliner 108SD, 2022 Freightliner 114SD, 2020-23 Western Star 49X, 2021-23 Western Star 47X and 2021-22 Western Star 57X vehicles. (ben)
