WHEELS:RIM
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Freightliner 114SD, 2023 Freightliner 122SD, 2020 Western Star 4700, 2019-2022 Western Star 4900, 2019-2023 Freightliner Business Class M2, and 2021 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with tires that are not compatible with their 8.25-inch rims. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other Than Passenger Cars."
- What it can cause
- Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-962.
- 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 49 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% of the 16,465 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Freightliner vehicles have been recalled over the wheels 3 times before this, most recently in June 2005 as 05V285000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 16 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, 10 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 53 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V736000 (equipment), 26V660000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V583000 (service brakes, air), 25V760000 (suspension).
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 12, 2022 as campaign 22V919000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
