Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2007-2010 Freightliner Business Class M2, Custom Chassis MT45, S2 Chassis, and Sterling Acterra vehicles manufactured between October 5, 2006, and May 24, 2010, that are equipped with EPA 2007 MBE 900 Detroit Diesel engines. The vehicles have a defect in engine software that may not respond properly to certain aftermarket treatment device fault codes.
This software defect creates two safety risks: the engine may shut down unexpectedly while driving, which could cause a crash, or the engine may fail to shut down when the aftertreatment device overheats, which could result in a fire. Daimler Trucks will notify owners and perform repairs free of charge through Detroit Diesel. Affected owners can contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
