What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2022 Freightliner Custom Chass MT45 Chassis. The leaf spring eye on the rear suspension may be undersized, which could result in it breaking and detaching from the vehicle.

The risk

A detached leaf spring eye can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace spring assemblies. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 26, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA's customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-895.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A 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.
