FL999 Alcoa Steer Wheel Inner Flange Failures
573 Chronology (Amended April 10, 2024):
In July 2023, DTNA received a field report which described that several trucks had experienced flange cracking or breaking. Over the course of July and August 2023, additional field reports and warranty claims were received which all involved similar allegations. These initial reports were investigated and eventually closed without action in October 2023 based on information that indicated the condition was detectable to drivers, no reports of any sudden air loss from tires or any other safety-relevant outcomes. Additionally, corrective action had been taken by the supplier which corrected its machining parameters to meet specification.
DTNA continued to monitor the issue and did not receive any additional reports potentially related to the same concern until a single report was received from a fleet customer in February 2024 which reported the presence of a cracked flange around the wheel and a failed tire, but it was unclear whether the cracked flange preceded or contributed to the tire failure or not. Over the course of these investigations, DTNA received a total of 23 warranty claims (documented between June 20, 2023 through March 14, 2024). DTNA has also received additional field reports related to the same issue including a second report of a rapid air loss event for a total of 15 field reports (documented between July 10, 2023 to March 22, 2024). On March 19, 2024 DTNA reopened the investigation while working closely with the wheel supplier. While the root cause investigation of these reports remains ongoing, out of an abundance of caution, on March 28, 2024, DTNA decided to initiate a recall to address this issue. Based on the variance in the field experience between trucks produced at DTNA’s Mexico facility which use wheels produced at the supplier’s Mexico facility as compared to trucks with wheels produced at other facilities, DTNA’s best understanding at present is that the defect is limited to trucks produced at the Mexico facility. DTNA continues to monitor the performance of wheels produced by the same supplier at other facilities.
Upon further review, in total, DTNA has received 15 field reports, and has observed 23 warranty claims. DTNA is not aware of any customer complaints or VOQs related to this concern. There are no crashes nor death or injuries known.
On April 10, 2024, in response to a request in the Recall Acknowledgment Letter for this matter, DTNA amended its chronology to provide an updated summary of field activity with associated date ranges and counts related to this issue and amended supplier address as per supplier’s request.

Description of the Defect : A defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain model year 2023 through 2024 Freightliner Cascadia, Business Class M2, 122SD, 114SD, 108SD and Western Star 57X vehicles. On the affected vehicles, the inboard/ inner bead seat flange of the steer axle wheels may crack. With continued operation of the vehicle, the crack may progress to the point where wheel flange sections may fail and eventually separate from the wheel/rim.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If the cracks are not addressed and progress to the point of flange failure and separation, this may damage the tire. Depending on the extent of steer tire damage, this could result in loss of vehicle control, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : If cracks, flange separation and/or low tire pressure are present, they may be visually observed at pre/post trip or via a TPMS warning. If one or more sections of the wheel flange begin to separate, vibrations are often induced into the steering wheel.

Subject: Stop Delivery Order: Safety Recall FL999
SAFETY RECALL NOTICE On 04/03/2024, Daimler Truck North America (“DTNA”) filed a Defect Information Report (“DIR”) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) and/or a Defect Information Notice (“DIN”) with Transport Canada (“TC”) informing the agencies of our intent to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
It is a violation of federal law for a dealer or distributor to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Some of the vehicles subject to this “Stop Delivery Order” may be in your new vehicle inventory. Until further instructions are available, new vehicles subject to this “Stop Delivery Order” must be held and not delivered to customers.
DTNA strongly recommends that dealers and distributors remedy all recall before selling used vehicles. For any used vehicle with an open recall not remedied before sale, DTNA requires that the dealer or distributor notify prospective buyers of the open recall.
Affected VINs are visible in DTNA’s warranty system (OWL) via coverage information or by running the CM012 dealer report. Please ensure that registration information on vehicles subject to this recall is up to date to facilitate accurate owner notification.
