Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2015-2016 Freightliner Cascadia trucks equipped with Bergstrom Parksmart HVAC auxiliary units. The air conditioning systems in these vehicles may have a faulty electrical connector on the compressor that creates excessive heat due to inadequate contact between the connector and electrical pins. This overheated connection poses a fire risk.
To address this issue, dealers will replace the connector caps at no cost to owners and will also replace the harnesses if they show signs of heat damage. The recall began on May 12, 2016. Affected owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange the free repairs, and can reference recall number FL-703 for this campaign.
