- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023 FCCC MT50e vans. An insufficient connection in the battery pack may cause the battery management system to shut down unexpectedly.
- What it can cause
- An unexpected shut down can result in a sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the battery packs, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 14, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-960.
- 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 11 vehicles this is a small campaign: 91% 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.
FCCC vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 5 times before this, most recently in August 2020 as 20V485000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V879000 (electrical system), 23V238000 (steering), 22V460000 (power train).
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 November 23, 2022 as campaign 22V877000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
