What was wrong

Defect

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Freightliner Custom Chassis S2G Chassis trucks. The vehicles have an airline hose and the engine block coolant heater wire that may not have been properly routed and secured during production.

Risk

The affected airline and wire may contact the exhaust pipe, possibly resulting in melting and shorting, increasing the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

DTNA will notify the owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the airline and heater cord routing and secure them, if needed, free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on July 18, 2017. The recall began on September 29, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-739.
