Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain Freightliner, Sterling, and Western Star vehicles manufactured between January 14, 2008, and June 15, 2011, that were built with Detroit Diesel 15 or 16 engines. A bolt that secures a rubber isolator to a support bracket may become loose and back out, potentially contacting an unfused starter cable and creating a short circuit between the battery cable and chassis ground. This short circuit could result in a vehicle fire.
To address this issue, dealers will install a new bolt and isolator and repair the vehicles at no charge to owners. The recall began on December 21, 2011. Affected consumers should contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712.
