Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2011 model year Freightliner Coronado, Columbia, FLD Military, Business Class M2, Cascadia, Century, and Western Star 4900 trucks manufactured between August 9, 2010, and October 27, 2010. These vehicles have labels missing recommended cold tire inflation pressure information, which violates federal safety standards. Without proper tire inflation recommendations, drivers may not maintain correct tire pressure, potentially leading to tire failure and increased crash risk.
To remedy the issue, Daimler Trucks will replace the defective labels with corrected ones at no cost to owners. The recall was expected to begin on or before January 15, 2011. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange the service.
