Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2008 and 2009 Freightliner Business Class M2 and Sterling Acterra emergency vehicles manufactured between August 18, 2006, and July 7, 2010, that are equipped with EPA 2007 MBE 900 Detroit Diesel engines. The engine software may not properly respond to certain aftermarket treatment device fault codes, which can cause the vehicle to shut down unexpectedly or fail to shut down when the aftertreatment device overheats. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash or result in a fire.
Daimler Trucks will notify owners, and repairs will be performed by Detroit Diesel free of charge. The safety recall began on March 25, 2011. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712. This recall is an expansion of a previous recall (10V-472).
