The problem
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Freightliner eCascadia vehicles. The e-axle planetary gear set may not be welded properly, which can cause the e-motor to detach from the final drive, resulting in an undetectable and sudden loss of drive power without the ability to restart the vehicle.
The risk
An undetectable and sudden loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the e-axle(s) as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 13, 2023. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL979.
Notes
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.
