The short version

Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the electrical system. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The affected vehicles have a Power Distribution Module (PDM) that is mounted near the CNG fuel tank. Due to its location, the PDM may be sprayed with water and contaminants from the road, possibly causing the PDM to short circuit.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the PDM short circuits, there would be an increased risk of a fire, especially if the nearby CNG tank leaks.

WHAT TO DO

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the PDM, free of charge.
