Freightliner affected vehicles may have had multiple layers of paint applied, and as a result, in a crash, the windows may separate from the vehicle when the outer layer of paint peels from the layer below.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the structure body. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may have had multiple layers of paint applied, and as a result, in a crash, the windows may separate from the vehicle when the outer layer of paint peels from the layer below.
If the windows separate from the vehicle in a crash, the occupants are at a greater risk of injury.
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will remove the windows and inspect the paintwork, repainting the vehicles as necessary, free of charge.
