Reported Aug 16, 20121,663 vehicles affectedDAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICAMaker’s number FL-631Built Jul 7, 2008 – Dec 15, 2011

The defect

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Freightliner, Sterling, and Western Star vehicles manufactured from July 7, 2008, through December 15, 2011, and equipped with perpendicular air tank mounting brackets. The air tank mounting brackets may develop cracks which can lead to the air tank brackets separating from the frame rail. The air tanks may also separate from the vehicle.

The risk

Air tanks that become separated from a moving vehicle may create a road debris hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air mounting brackets, free of charge. The recall began on December 24, 2012. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks North America toll free at 1-800-547-0712.
