Defect / Noncompliance Information Report (Section 573.6) FL-961 Date of Submission: December 9, 2022 Manufacturer: Daimler Truck North America LLC P.O. BOX 3849 Portland, Oregon 97208 Type of Report: ⃝ Safety Defect X Non-Compliance Vehicle Information Model Yr. Start: 2021 Model Yr. End: 2022 Make: Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) Model: MT50e Production Dates: Begin: November 5, 2020 End: April 11, 2022 Descriptive Information: DTNA discovered a potential for noncompliance with FMVSS 102 in certain Freightliner Custom Chassis MT50e model electric walk-in vans are equipped with a certain rotary knob managing transmission shift position functionality. This rotary knob was not used in vehicle production, so no new vehicles are affected; the affected knob was only used in repairing a prior defect under recall FL934. A software failure, that is immediately found on the Stalk Switch, Right rotary shifter upon first installation and use, produces the following effect: if the stalk is positioned in the “P” position, the value of reverse is broadcasted putting the truck and cluster in reverse; if the stalk is positioned in the “R” position, the value of neutral is broadcasted putting the truck in Neutral. Out of abundance of caution, DTNA elected to recall a group of MT50e units that had the Stalk Switch Right, rotary shifter replaced within the remedy of FL934. Separately, DTNA is sequestering all affected parts and, if any got into the aftermarket, complementing the vehicle recall with a parallel parts recall. NOTE:  Identify by body style or type. – MT50e, electric walk-in van Basis for Determination of the Recall Population: At the current time, MT50e electric walk-in vans built from November 5, 2020 to April 11, 2022 that have received the remedy to recall FL934 are included in the recall population. Number potentially involved: 23 Estimated percentage of involved with defect: 100% Defect / Noncompliance Description For this Defect/Noncompliance: Describe the defect or noncompliance: MT50e electric walk-in vans are equipped with a rotary DNRP selector. FCCC Engineering conducted testing on a part determined to have failed at first use from a dealer and bodybuilder. The stalk switch in testing produced a mismatch between the Shifter Indicator and the Gear of the Truck and Display. This is a noncompliance with FMVSS 102 S3.1.4, which requires that “identification of shift positions, including … the position selected, shall be displayed in view of the driver” under certain conditions. Describe the safety risk: Non-compliance and the incorrect indication of transmission selection could result in an unintended shift into reverse and potentially a crash. Identify any warning which can precede or occur: As the defect will only occur while a vehicle is being repaired, a cautious technician or driver may notice a disagreement between the cluster display and the gear selection and, presuming the normal procedure to chock wheels of a vehicle being repaired, will likely notice no more than the vehicle struggling against the chock blocks.

Daimler Truck North America LLC IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL This notice applies to your vehicle(s), See enclosed VIN list February 2023 FL961 NHTSA #22V-914 Subject: FCCC Stalk Switch Right Shifter This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Daimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC), has decided that certain Model Year 2021-2022 FCCC MT50e walk-in vans, manufactured November 5, 2020, through April 11, 2022, fail to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 102, “Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect.” On the affected vehicles, previously repaired under recall FL934, the stalk switch may produce a mismatch between the shifter indicator and the gear of the truck and display, causing the transmission gear shifter indicator to display inaccurately. This does not comply with FMVSS 102 S3.1.4, which requires that “identification of shift positions, including the position selected, be displayed in view of the driver.” Non-compliance and the incorrect indication of transmission selection could result in an unintended shift into reverse and increase the risk of a crash. Daimler Truck North America authorized service facilities will inspect the stalk switch right shifter and replace as necessary. The recall will take approximately one hour and will be performed free of charge.

General Information Daimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC), has decided that certain Model Year 2021-2022 FCCC MT50e walk-in vans, manufactured November 5, 2020, through April 11, 2022, fail to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 102 S3.1.4. On the affected vehicles, the stalk switch may produce a mismatch between the shifter indicator and the gear of the truck and display. This does not comply with FMVSS 102 S3.1.4, which requires that “identification of shift positions, including the position selected, be displayed in view of the driver.” Non-compliance and the incorrect indication of transmission selection could result in an unintended shift into reverse and increase the risk of a crash. Daimler Truck North America authorized service facilities will inspect the stalk switch right shifter and replace as necessary. The recall will take approximately one hour and will be performed free of charge. There are approximately 23 vehicles involved in this campaign. Additional Repairs Dealers must complete all outstanding Recall and Field Service campaigns prior to the sale or delivery of a vehicle. A Dealer will be liable for any progressive damage that results from its failure to complete campaigns before sale or delivery of a vehicle. Owners may be liable for any progressive damage that results from failure to complete campaigns within a reasonable time after receiving notification.

Channel Avenue Portland OR 97217-3849 Company phone : 800-745-8000 Population : Number of potentially involved : 23 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2021-2022 FCCC MT50e Walk-In Van Vehicle Type : Body Style : Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : DTNA discovered a potential for noncompliance with FMVSS 102 in certain Freightliner Custom Chassis MT50e model electric walk-in vans are equipped with a certain rotary knob managing transmission shift position functionality. This rotary knob was not used in vehicle production, so no new vehicles are affected; the affected knob was only used in repairing a prior defect under recall FL934. A software failure, that is immediately found on the Stalk Switch, Right rotary shifter upon first installation and use, produces the following effect: if the stalk is positioned in the “P” position, the value of reverse is broadcasted putting the truck and cluster in reverse; if the stalk is positioned in the “R” position, the value of neutral is broadcasted putting the truck in Neutral. Out of abundance of caution, DTNA elected to recall a group of MT50e units that had the Stalk Switch Right, rotary shifter replaced within the remedy of FL934. Separately, DTNA is sequestering all affected parts and, if any got into the aftermarket, complementing the vehicle recall with a parallel parts recall. Basis for Determination of the Recall Population: At the current time, MT50e electric walk-in vans built from November 5, 2020 to April 11, 2022 that have received the remedy to recall FL934 are included in the recall population.

FCCC Engineering conducted testing on a part determined to have failed at first use from a dealer and bodybuilder. The stalk switch in testing produced a mismatch between the Shifter Indicator and the Gear of the Truck and Display.
