POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2021-2022 MT50e electric walk-in vans that were previously repaired under recall number 22V-340. The transmission gear shifter indicator may not display accurately. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect."
- What it can cause
- Driving a vehicle with an inaccurate transmission gear shifter indicator can result in an unintentional gear shift, which can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the gear shifter, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 2, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-961.
- 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 23 vehicles this is a small campaign: 86% 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 model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
FCCC vehicles have been recalled over the power train 5 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V460000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V238000 (steering), 22V460000 (power train), 22V340000 (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 December 9, 2022 as campaign 22V914000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
