SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:CHECK VALVE
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The double check valve may trap air which can impair service brake function and lock the rear axle while the vehicle is in motion. A locked rear axle may cause brake components to fail or increased stopping distance.
- What it can cause
- Brake component failure and increased stopping distance may increase 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 1-800-547-2712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-936.
- 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 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% 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 service brakes, air 50 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V339000. 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, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the service brakes, air, 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.
