Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

The defect: Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Freightliner Custom Chassis S2G Chassis trucks. The vehicles have an airline hose and the engine block coolant heater wire that may not have been properly routed and secured during production.
The risk: The affected airline and wire may contact the exhaust pipe, possibly resulting in melting and shorting, increasing the risk of a fire.
The remedy: DTNA will notify the owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the airline and heater cord routing and secure them, if needed, free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on July 18, 2017. The recall began on September 29, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-739.
