Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2021 Western Star 4700 and 5700, Freightliner Business Class M2, Cascadia, and Custom Chassis XC vehicles with specific steering arm configurations and air disc brakes. The recall addresses an issue where one of the six brake caliper mounting bolts on the driver side steer axle may have been incorrectly tightened. A loose bolt could cause other caliper bolts to loosen as well, and insufficiently tightened bolts may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate, resulting in reduced brake effectiveness and an increased risk of a crash.
DTNA will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair affected vehicles free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2021. Owners of potentially affected vehicles can contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or reference recall number FL-873.
