SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2025 Freightliner 114SD, Business Class M2, Cascadia, and Western Star 49X vehicles. The air tank capacity may be too small, resulting in reduced braking performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- Reduced brake performance can extend the distance required to stop, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the air tank or install an additional air tank, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 1, 2025. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1019.
- 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 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 68 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% 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, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, 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 53 times before this, most recently in November 2022 as 22V817000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V079000 (electrical system), 26V066000 (steering), 25V760000 (suspension), 25V603000 (steering).
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 May 7, 2025 as campaign 25V295000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
