What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting the critical park brake system. Although no injuries or deaths have been reported, park brake failure or unexpected engagement while driving directly increases crash risk, meeting the rubric criterion for severe structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2024 and 2025 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles. A rubber ball seal in the Intellipark Park Valve Module (PVM) may fracture, causing a leak in the park brake system.

When the park brake system leaks, the vehicle may lose park brake function or experience unexpected park brake engagement while driving. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Approximately 220 vehicles are affected. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 to arrange a free replacement of the Park Valve Module.
