General Information

Daimler TruckseBay North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its FreightlinereBay Trucks Division, and wholly owned subsidiary, Western StareBay Truck Sales, Inc., has decided that a non-compliance defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists on the vehicles mentioned above.

REVISION:The pusher/tag tires will be replaced on vehicles in FL847B, not the steer tires.

On certain vehicles, the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the certification label lists an incorrect higher capacity of the tires, which can lead to possible overloading of the tires and increase the likelihood of a crash.

Either the certification label will be replaced with a new one indicating the correct GAWR for the tires, or new pusher/tag tires with the correct capacity for the GAWR will be installed.

IMPORTANT: Advance arrangements are required. When a customer contacts you regarding this Recall, verify what group their vehicle is in and place an order for either the certification label or tires.

There are approximately 90 vehicles involved in this campaign.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

See enclosed VIN list

Subject: Tire Rating Labels

 

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Daimler TruckseBay North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its FreightlinereBay Trucks Division, and wholly owned subsidiary, Western StareBay Truck Sales, Inc., has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists on specific Model Year 2020-2021 FreightlinereBay 114SD, and Coronado vehicles; and Western StareBay 4700 and 4900 vehicles manufactured April 26, 2019 through March 9, 2020.

On certain vehicles, the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the certification label lists an incorrect higher capacity of the tires, which can lead to possible overloading of the tires and increase the likelihood of a crash.

New steer tires with the correct capacity for the GAWR will be installed. Repairs will be performed by Daimler TruckseBay North America authorized service facilities. IMPORTANT: Advance arrangements are required for this Recall in order to ensure tires are available for your vehicle at the dealership.

Please contact an authorized Daimler TruckseBay 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 Daimler-TrucksNorthAmerica.com/Contact-us. Scroll down to “Locate a Dealer” and select the appropriate brand. The Recall will take approximately one hour and will be performed at no charge to you.
