POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
- The defect
- Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2027 Western Star 49X, Western Star 47X, Freightliner Cascadia Fifth Gen, Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner 114SD, Freightliner Business Class M2, and Freightliner 108SD vehicles equipped with certain Cummins drivelines. The driveline may be missing a snap ring in the slip yoke assembly, possibly causing the driveline to separate from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- Driveline separation can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Detached components can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Cummins will inspect and replace the driveline as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 5, 2027. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467. DTNA's number for this recall is F1046.
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 3,894 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 72% of the 19,950 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers one model year, 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Freightliner vehicles have been recalled over the power train 34 times before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V895000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V736000 (equipment), 26V635000 (structure), 26V475000 (exterior lighting), 26V079000 (electrical system).
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 6, 2026 as campaign 26V737000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
