The short version

Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the supply hoses, lines/piping, and fittings. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The primary air line was incorrectly connected to the secondary air pressure gauge and the secondary air line was connected to the primary air pressure gauge. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."

WHY IT MATTERS

In the event of a failure of one of the two air systems, an incorrect air pressure reading may occur, confusing the driver, therefore increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air gauge lines for proper connection, correcting them as necessary, free of charge.
