PARKING BRAKE
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The electronic parking brake may not engage when the vehicle is keyed off, which may result in a vehicle rollaway. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 121, "Air Brake Systems," and 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a fused harness overlay, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 9, 2023. Owners may contact DNTA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-945.
- 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 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% 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 parking brake 8 times before this, most recently in October 2014 as 14V681000. 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.
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 June 30, 2022 as campaign 22V468000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
