What happened

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2006-2021 Freightliner trucks (including Columbia, Business Class M2, Coronado, 122 SD, Cascadia, and other models), as well as certain Sterling and Western Star vehicles. The rear reflective tape on these vehicles may be partially covered by the mudflap hanger bracket, which reduces visibility to other drivers and fails to meet federal safety standards.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 and reference recall number FL848. Dealers will inspect and reposition the reflective tape at no cost to ensure it is completely visible.
