Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2015-2016 Freightliner Cascadia, Business Class M2, 108SD, 114SD, and Western Star 4700 trucks that were manufactured between January 4, 2015, and April 24, 2015, and equipped with Eaton Fuller FR 10-speed manual transmissions. The affected vehicles have a transmission defect where the reverse gear may remain engaged even after the shift lever is moved to neutral, which can cause the vehicle to move backwards unexpectedly and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, moving the shift lever from reverse to a forward gear position may cause the transmission to mechanically lock if both reverse and forward gears are simultaneously engaged.
DTNA will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair the transmissions at no charge. The recall began on November 24, 2015. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000 and reference recall number FL-693.
