Freightliner Custom Chassis Trucks Recalled for Tire Valve Stem Damage

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017-2023 Freightliner Custom Chassis vehicles, including models XCL, XCM, XCS, MC, XCR, XBR, XBS, MBC, MT55, S2C, S2G, and S2RV. The tire valve stem extensions for the inner wheels may come into contact with and become damaged by the outer wheel rim openings.

Damage to the valve stem extension may result in a loss of tire pressure in the inner wheel, which increases the risk of a crash.

Approximately 16,676 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 18, 2022. Dealers will remove the inner valve stem extensions and stabilizers free of charge. This recall supersedes and expands recall 20V-529; vehicles previously repaired under that recall will need to have the new remedy completed.

Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712 (DTNA recall number FL912), or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153). Additional information is available at www.safercar.gov.
