Work Instructions
Subject: M2 Transmission Oil Cooler Line
Models Affected: Specific Model Year 2014-2019 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles manufactured October 17, 2013, through September 25, 2018, and equipped with a Mahle-Bahr radiator.
Transmission Oil Cooler Line Inspection at the Radiator
- Inspect the base label (Form WAR259) for a campaign completion sticker for FL874 (Form WAR260). If a sticker is present for FL874, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the steps below.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and apply the parking brake. Chock the tires.
IMPORTANT: If any of the two conditions below exist, the repair procedure shall be changed accordingly.
- Aftermarket Retaining Systems
Some vehicles in the affected population may have had an aftermarket line-retaining system installed. These systems replace or circumvent the performance of the retaining clips, which is the prime focus of this repair.
- Fluid Leaks
If transmission oil leakage has occurred between the cooler line and the fitting(s), the cooler fitting assembly needs to be replaced. The replacement fittings required for this repair have the updated line retaining clip pre-installed.
- Inspect the oil cooler line connections at the radiator.
3.1 If a collar and clamp kit (See Fig. 1), or a support plate (See Fig. 2) is installed, no further work is required. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL874, on a blank red completion sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this campaign has been performed.
3.2 Is the transmission oil leaking at the cooler line fitting;
YES โ Skip Retaining Clip Replacement, and go to Cooler Fitting Replacement below.
NO โ Go to Retaining Clip Replacement below.
Retaining Clip Replacement
- Remove the plastic lock ring by evenly prying it away from the fitting, and sliding it back onto the metal portion of the transmission cooler line.
- Using a pick or a small screwdriver, remove the tube retaining clip. See Fig. 3.
Do not over-expand the retaining clip to install it on the fitting.
- Install a new retaining clip, and confirm the line is fully seated and the clip is tight.
- Install the collar.
- Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL874, on a blank red completion sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this campaign has been performed.
Cooler Fitting Replacement
- Remove the plastic lock ring by evenly prying it away from the fitting, and sliding it back onto the metal portion of the transmission cooler line.
- Using a pick or a small screwdriver, remove the tube retaining clip. See Fig. 3.
- Using a clean container, drain the coolant from the radiator. For instructions, refer the Business Class M2 Workshop Manual.
- Disconnect the oil cooler lines from the fittings in the radiator. In some variants, this may require removing some cooler line hangers, or surrounding components. For instructions, refer to the Business Class M2 Workshop Manual.
Only remove one cooler fitting from the radiator at a time. Removing both will allow the oil cooler to change position inside the tank, possibly causing a future coolant leak, resulting in replacement of the radiator assembly.
- Remove one fitting from the radiator.
- Install a new fitting. Tighten to 47 lbfยทft (64 Nยทm).
- Remove the second fitting from the radiator.
- Install a new fitting. Tighten to 47 lbfยทft (64 Nยทm).
- Install the cooler lines onto the radiator.
NOTE: If any additional steps are required for the cooler tube removal specific to the vehicle variants, refer to the appropriate section in the Business Class M2 Workshop Manual for instructions.
- Confirm the cooler lines are fully seated onto the radiator, and the clip is tight. Install the collar.
- Fill the transmission with appropriate oil.
- Fill the radiator with appropriate coolant.
- Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL874, on a blank red completion sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label to indicate this campaign has been performed.

Descriptive Information:
Specific vehicles equipped with Mahle-Behr radiators and Jiffy-Tite quick connect fitting that are built
with two particular kinds of plumbing designs of the transmission cooler lines at the radiator tank,
manufactured within the mentioned production dates noted above.
Number potentially involved: 15,835 Estimated percentage involved with defect: 5%
Defect / Noncompliance Description
For this Defect/Noncompliance:
Describe the defect or noncompliance:
On the affected vehicles, retaining clip that engages the transmission oil cooler line connection to the in
tank oil cooler may fail and allow the transmission fluid cooler hose to disengage, which may allow fluid
leak. The fluid leak should normally be detectable, but it is possible for the leak, if sufficiently rapid, to
occur before a driver can detect and move the vehicle off the road.
If a noncompliance, provide the applicable FMVSS
Describe the safety risk:
If a rapid loss of transmission fluid leak occurred while the vehicle was in motion, and before detected by
the driver, it could lead to fluid on the road which could present a risk of a motor vehicle hitting the fluid
and causing loss of control.
Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
Provide the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the
noncompliance decision:
Over the period 2017 to the present, in response to indications primarily of minor In-Tank Oil Cooler
(ITOC) connection issues, DTNA investigated ITOC leakageโeach time coming to the conclusion that the
issue was detectable. At no time did DTNA determine, nor should it have determined, that there was a
defect within the scope of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. In late January 2021 to
early February 2021, DTNAโs on-going analysis revealed that, on a specific population of vehicles built
with two particular kinds of plumbing designs of the transmission cooler lines at the radiator tank, there
is possibility of a retaining clip failure. Although no facts have changed that would alter DTNAโs Safety
Act scope determination, out of great respect for NHTSA and for the process of examining potential
defects, on February 5, 2021, DTNA, out of an abundance of caution, decided to initiate a voluntary
safety recall to campaign certain vehicles equipped with those two plumbing designs, Mahle-Behr
Radiators and Jiffy-Tite quick connect fittings that are built with two specific plumbing designs of the
transmission cooler lines at the radiator tank manufactured within a particular build-date range.
Identify the Remedy
Describe the defect/noncompliance remedy program, including the manufactureโs plan for
reimbursement.
Retaining clip that engages the transmission fluid cooler lines at the radiator tank will be removed and
replaced by a collar and clamp connection. Customer notification will be done by first class mail using
Daimler Trucks North America records to determine the customers affected. Copies of the reimbursement
plan will be submitted as a supplemental report when available.

Objet : Ligne de refroidissement d’huile de transmission de M2
Modรจles concernรฉs : Annรฉe de modรจle spรฉcifique 2014-2019 Freightliner Business Class M2 fabriquรฉs du 17 octobre 2013 au 25 septembre 2018 et รฉquipรฉs d’un radiateur Mahle-Bahr.
Renseignements gรฉnรฉraux
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), au nom de sa division Freightliner
Trucks, a dรฉcidรฉ qu’il existe un dรฉfaut liรฉ ร la sรฉcuritรฉ des vรฉhicules automobiles sur les vรฉhicules susmentionnรฉs.
Sur des vรฉhicules spรฉcifiques, le clip de retenue qui engage la connexion de la ligne de refroidisseur d’huile de transmission au refroidisseur d’huile dans le rรฉservoir peut รฉchouer et permettre au tuyau de refroidisseur de liquide de transmission de se dรฉsengager, ce qui peut permettre au fluide de fuir. Si une perte rapide de liquide de transmission se produit, elle pourrait conduire ร un fluide sur la route, ce qui peut prรฉsenter un risque qu’un vรฉhicule automobile heurte le liquide et provoque une perte de maรฎtrise.
Les deux raccords seront inspectรฉs pour les fuites, les bris ou les dommages, et le clip de verrouillage sera remplacรฉ au besoin. Il y a environ 16 673 vรฉhicules impliquรฉs dans cette campagne.
Rรฉparations supplรฉmentaires
Les concessionnaires doivent effectuer toutes les campagnes de rappel et de service sur le terrain avant la vente ou la livraison d’un vรฉhicule. Un concessionnaire sera responsable de tout dommage progressif rรฉsultant de son รฉchec ร mener des campagnes avant la vente ou la livraison d’un vรฉhicule.
Les propriรฉtaires peuvent รชtre responsables de tout dommage progressif rรฉsultant de l’รฉchec de la rรฉalisation des campagnes dans un dรฉlai raisonnable aprรจs rรฉception de la notification.

Tema: Tuberรญa del enfriador de aceite de la
transmisiรณn M2
Modelos afectados: Vehรญculos especรญficos modelos 2014-2019
Freightliner Business Class M2 fabricados entre el 17 de octubre
de 2013 y el 25 de septiembre de 2018, y equipados con un
radiador Mahle-Bahr.
Informaciรณn general
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), en nombre de su divisiรณn Camiones Freightliner
, ha decidido que
existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad del motor de los vehรญculos mencionados anteriormente.
En vehรญculos especรญficos, el sujetador de retenciรณn que engancha la conexiรณn de la tuberรญa del enfriador de
aceite de la transmisiรณn al enfriador de aceite del tanque puede fallar y permitir que la manguera del enfriador
de lรญquido de la transmisiรณn se desacople, lo que puede permitir que haya fugas del lรญquido. Si ocurriera una
pรฉrdida rรกpida de lรญquido de la transmisiรณn, podrรญa resultar en lรญquido en la carretera, lo que puede presentar un
riesgo de que un vehรญculo de motor toque el lรญquido y provoque la pรฉrdida de control.
Se inspeccionarรกn ambos acoples para detectar fugas, roturas o daรฑos, y el sujetador de bloqueo se
reemplazarรก segรบn sea necesario.
Existen aproximadamente 16.673 vehรญculos involucrados en esta campaรฑa.
Reparaciones adicionales
Los concesionarios deben completar todas las Solicitudes de restituciรณn y servicios en campo pendientes antes
de la venta o entrega de un vehรญculo. El concesionario serรก responsable de todo daรฑo posterior que resulte por
no completar las campaรฑas antes de la venta o entrega de un vehรญculo.
Los propietarios pueden ser responsables de daรฑos posteriores que resulten por no completar las campaรฑas
dentro de un plazo razonable luego de recibir la notificaciรณn.
Instrucciones de trabajo
Consulte las instrucciones de trabajo adjuntas. Antes de realizar la campaรฑa, verifique que el vehรญculo lleve una

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
See enclosed VIN list
Subject: M2 Transmission Oil Cooler Line
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its Freightliner Trucks Division, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on specific Model Year 2014-2019 Freightliner Business Class M2 vehicles manufactured October 17, 2013, through September 25, 2018, and equipped with a Mahle-Bahr radiator.
On specific vehicles, the retaining clip that engages the transmission oil cooler line connection to the in tank oil cooler may fail and allow the transmission fluid cooler hose to disengage which may allow fluid to leak. If a rapid loss of transmission fluid occurred, it could lead to fluid on the road, which may present a risk of a motor vehicle hitting the fluid and causing loss of vehicle control.
Both fittings will be inspected for leakage, breakage, or damage, and the locking clip replaced as needed. Repairs will be performed by Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities.
Please contact an authorized Daimler Trucks 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
