What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Freightliner Business Class M2, 108SD, and 114SD trucks. The recall affects trucks that have been modified to be equipped with both left-hand and right-hand instrument clusters.

Due to incompatibilities between the displays, the instrument clusters and/or turn signals may become unresponsive. Unresponsive instrument clusters and/or turn signals can increase the risk of a crash.

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left instrument cluster with a cluster compatible with the right display, free of charge. The recall began on May 8, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
