- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023 Western Star 4900 trucks. The inversion valve air lines may have been incorrectly installed, potentially reducing brake performance.
- What it can cause
- Reduced brake performance increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- All vehicles have been remedied, therefore no owner notification letters are necessary. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-924.
- 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 13 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% 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, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Western Star vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 14 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V127000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 24V013000 (parking brake), 23V238000 (steering), 22V722000 (steering).
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 March 30, 2022 as campaign 22V205000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
