NHTSA #23V-063
Transport Canada #2023-046 Recall Campaign The letter notifying U.S. and Canadian vehicle owners is included for your reference.
Please note that the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended (Title 49, United States Code, Chapter 301), requires the owner’s vehicle(s) be corrected within a reasonable time after parts are available to you. The Act states that failure to repair a vehicle within 60 days after tender for repair shall be prima facie evidence of an unreasonable time. However, circumstances of a particular situation may reduce the 60 day period. Failure to repair a vehicle within a reasonable time can result in either the obligation to (a) replace the vehicle with an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle, without charge, or (b) refund the purchase price in full, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. The Act further prohibits dealers from selling a vehicle unless all outstanding recalls are performed. Any lessor is required to send a copy of the recall notification to the lessee within 10 days. Any subsequent stage manufacturer is required to forward this notice to its distributors and retail outlets within five working days. Page 3 Daimler Truck North America LLC

Transport Canada #2023-046 Recall Campaign Copy of Notice to Owners Subject: Freightliner Coronado Upper Bunk Wall Mounting
For US Customers: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. For CAN Customers: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This is to inform you that your vehicle may contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person.
Daimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its Freightliner Trucks Division, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Freightliner Coronado 2021-2023 model year vehicles, manufactured from August 27, 2020, through January 12, 2023.
On the affected vehicles, equipped with a foldable upper bunk assembly, the mounting pivot bolts of the upper
bunk may not have been fully torqued to spec to properly connect those mounting points. A loose mounting pivot bolt may result in the upper bunk falling, potentially injuring the occupant using the bottom bunk. Occupants will likely notice the insecure mounting when lifting or lowering the upper bunk, which is done with the vehicle stationary and thus not subject to road vibration.
A Daimler Truck North America authorized service facility will update the vehicles with the correct bolts and torque. The recall will take approximately one half hour and will be performed free of charge.
Please contact an authorized Daimler Truck North America dealer to arrange to have the recall performed and to ensure that parts are available at the dealership. To locate an authorized dealer, search online at https://northamerica.daimlertruck.com/contact-us. Scroll down to “Locate a Dealer”, and select the appropriate brand.

https://dtna-dlrinfo.prd.freightliner.com:48518/VinLookup/vin-module/getVinLookupPage.

If you do not own the vehicle that corresponds to the identification number(s) which appears on the Recall Notification, please return the notification to the Warranty Campaigns Department with any information you can furnish that will assist us in locating the present owner. If you have leased this vehicle, federal law requires that you forward this notice to the lessee within 10 days. If you are a subsequent stage manufacturer, federal law requires that you forward this notice to your distributors and retail outlets within five working days. If you have paid to have this recall condition corrected prior to this notice, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement. Please see the reverse side of this notice for details.

Investigative work continued through December and early to mid-January. In late-January, 2023 DTNA received a report back from the supplier identifying that the bolt may not have been properly torqued. At no time prior to this report did DTNA reasonably believe that the supplied bed assembly was out of specification. Promptly after receiving this notification, on February 1, 2023 DTNA decided to initiate a voluntary safety recall for vehicles equipped with the bunk assembly built with under torqued bolts.
