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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that poses a risk of injury if the engine falls, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024 Freightliner M2 and 114SD vehicles equipped with Cummins L9N engines. The recall addresses a defect where the rear lifting bracket that attaches to the engine cylinder head may be insufficiently secured, allowing it to detach.

If the rear lifting bracket detaches while the engine is being lifted, the engine can fall or swing, which increases the risk of injury to nearby individuals. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Cummins dealers will inspect and replace the flanged stud in the rear lifting bracket, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 8, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
