Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2011 Freightliner Coronado, Columbia, FLD Military, Business Class M2, Cascadia, Century, and Western Star 4900 trucks. These vehicles were manufactured between August 9, 2010, and October 27, 2010. The recall addresses a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, which requires specific tire selection and rim information.

The affected vehicles were equipped with labels that are missing the recommended cold tire inflation pressures. Failure to follow proper tire inflation recommendations can result in tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. This safety recall campaign is an expansion of a previous recall (10V-551).

Owners should contact Daimler Trucks at 1-800-547-0712 to schedule a repair. Dealers will replace the labels with missing information with corrected labels free of charge.
