NHTSA #22V-914

Subject: FCCC Stalk Switch Right Shifter

Models Affected: Specific model years 2021-2022 FCCC MT50e walk-invans, manufactured November 5, 2020, through April11, 2022.

 

General Information

Daimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, FreightlinereBay logo 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.

Chronology :

On December 1, 2022, a DTNA employee stationed at a bodybuilder found two stalk switches potentially reporting incorrectly on vehicles not whose construction was not yet complete and which therefore were not yet delivered to the final customer. At or about that time, the DTNA CST contacted FCCC Engineering and installed replacement parts on the vehicle. Following this DTNA, through its subsidiary, FCCC arranged to have parts tested at FCCC’s Engineering Validation Center. On December 5, DTNA determined there was a defect.

Subsequently, on or about December 5, 2022, FCCC engineering alerted Quality of the defect discovered at the bodybuilder and confirmed to be a supplier software defect during testing. DTNA, through its subsidiary FCCC, immediately began an investigation. December 9, 2022 out of an abundance of caution, DTNA decided to conduct a voluntary recall on MT50e walk-in vans based on the potential for a noncompliance with FMVSS 102.

There were no warranty claims nor any other sources of information about this issue other than the DTNA employee’s report regarding the vehicles under construction.
