There are five recalls affecting this model, involving steering components, electronic stability control, engine fuel systems, exterior lighting, and fire extinguishers. These recalls address potential safety risks that may affect vehicle control, fire safety, and visibility.
Recalls- Steering rack and pinion. Recall 11V514000 affects 9,689 vehicles due to possible corrosion and failure of the lower pinion bearing. Bearing failure can damage spool valve seals, allowing hydraulic fluid to flow incorrectly, causing unexpected steering turns and increased crash risk. Daimler Trucks inspects and replaces or services the rack and pinion system as needed.
- Electronic stability control. Recall 11V465000 covers 4,444 vehicles with ESC systems that may misinterpret road conditions, causing front axle wheel braking when unnecessary. This can cause the vehicle to deviate from its path, increasing crash risk if the driver reacts slowly. The remedy involves software updates to the ESC module, provided free by dealers.
- Engine fuel line support. Recall 12V074000 affects 103,437 vehicles with Detroit Diesel engines, where high-pressure fuel line supports may loosen or crack during service. Fuel leaks can pose fire and crash hazards. The recall requires replacement of the support system by authorized service centers at no cost.
- Exterior lighting visibility. Recall 20V214000 impacts 63,175 vehicles due to rear reflective tape potentially being obscured by mudflap hangers. Reduced visibility increases crash risk. Dealers inspect and reposition the tape to ensure compliance with safety standards.
- Fire extinguisher equipment. Recall 17V810000 involves 24,860 vehicles equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers that may clog, require excessive force to operate, or have detachable nozzles causing injury. This may prevent extinguishing fires effectively and increase injury risk. Owners are instructed to obtain replacement extinguishers from Kidde at no cost.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall remedies related to safety concerns may have rights under their state’s lemon law. It is advisable to review these protections when facing ongoing vehicle issues.
