Plain-English summary
The 2022 Freightliner Cascadia is being recalled by Daimler Trucks North America, LLC due to a defect in the air brake system. The double check valve may trap air, which can impair the vehicle's service brake function and lock the rear axle while the vehicle is in motion.
Brake system failures can cause brake components to fail and increase the stopping distance required to slow or stop the vehicle. A locked rear axle can also impair the vehicle's ability to brake properly. These conditions may increase the risk of a crash.
This recall affects 2022 Freightliner Cascadia trucks. According to NHTSA, all affected vehicles have already been remedied. Owners should not need to take any action as the vehicles have been corrected.
