The problem
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015 Freightliner Business Class M2 trucks manufactured May 27, 2014, to September 25, 2014, and equipped with certain models of Eaton Fuller 365mm clutches. Due to an incorrect clutch-release bearing component, the affected clutches may not disengage as needed.
The risk
The loss of clutch function could cause unintended motion or extend stopping distance, increasing the risk of vehicle crash.
The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the clutches, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-670.
