- Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2025-2027 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles. The underbody insulation may contact hot exhaust components.
- What it can cause
- Insulation that comes into contact with hot exhaust components increases the risk of a fire.

- The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 30, 2026. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1041.
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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Freightliner Business Class M2 | 2025 to 2027 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 24 vehicles this is a small campaign: 85% of the 19,858 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Freightliner vehicles have been recalled over the structure 13 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V876000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V737000 (power train), 26V660000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V475000 (exterior lighting), 26V066000 (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 October 1, 2026 as campaign 26V635000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
