Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2012 Cascadia vehicles and 2012-2013 Freightliner Business Class M2, 108SD, and 114SD vehicles manufactured between January 20, 2012, and February 17, 2012. These vehicles contain defective steering wheel nuts with incompletely formed threads that may not properly secure the steering wheel to the steering shaft.
A steering wheel that is not fully seated on the steering shaft may wobble and make the vehicle difficult to control, increasing crash risk. Affected owners will be notified, and DTNA authorized service facilities will install a new steering wheel nut free of charge. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 regarding this recall.
