Daimler Trucks North America recalls 2017-2021 Freightliner Cascadia tractors with potentially faulty brakes that may pull to one side during automatic braking, increasing crash risk. Free replacement of brake modulator valves and spacers.
Brakes that pull to one side during automatic braking events may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2017-2021 Freightliner Cascadia tractor trailers because brake modulator valves may corrode, causing brakes to pull to one side during automatic braking events. This could lead to sudden vehicle direction changes and crashes.
The single brake modulator valve may corrode, slowing down the release timing of the brakes. This can cause the brakes to pull to one side during automatic braking events, potentially leading to sudden changes in vehicle direction and increasing crash risk.
