Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 Freightliner trucks (Business Class M2, Cascadia, Century, Columbia, Coronado, and Sterling A-Line) equipped with Meritor Wabco Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems manufactured between September 15, 2005 and September 1, 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, the ESC system may incorrectly calculate vehicle slip angle and perceive an over-steering situation, causing it to apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle. If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from its intended line of travel, increasing crash risk.
Daimler Trucks will notify affected owners and replace the ESC module with the appropriate software version at no charge. An interim owner notification was mailed on or about November 21, 2011, and the safety recall began on March 28, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Daimler Trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.
