NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2020 Western Star 4900, 2024 Freightliner Cascadia, and 2027 Western Star 49X vehicles. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the Federal Certification Label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The risk
An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 5, 2027. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is F1045.
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.
