ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. A certain combination of software and anti-lock brake system (ABS) hardware may lead to a system error, possibly causing a loss of vehicle braking and the inability to set the parking brake.
- What it can cause
- A loss of brakes increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- DTNA service facilities will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 10, 2022. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL919.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 9 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Freightliner vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 34 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V972000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 13 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V583000 (service brakes, air), 23V299000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 23V073000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 22V817000 (service brakes, air).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Daimler Trucks North America, LLC with NHTSA on February 22, 2022 as campaign 22V101000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
