Freightliner manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit.
The short version
Daimler Vans USA, LLC reported a problem with the air bags. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles were manufactured without a reinforcement plate and protective bracket on the air bag control unit. As a result, the air bag control unit may not remain functional after the initial impact, possibly preventing additional air bags from deploying in response to a secondary impact.
If additional air bags do not deploy as intended, the occupants are at an increased risk of injury.
DVUSA will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate and protective bracket around the air bag control unit, free of charge.
