Damage to the brake airlines can cause reduced brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2019-2020 Freightliner Cascadia trucks that may have damaged brake lines due to insufficient clearance between the ride height control valve and brake lines. This could reduce braking effectiveness and increase crash risk.
The brake lines may be damaged because the ride height control valve doesn't have enough clearance from the brake lines. This damage can reduce braking effectiveness, making it harder to stop the vehicle and increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2019-2020 Freightliner Cascadia trucks with a specific 40K Light Weight Extra Duty Airliner suspension and 51-inch axle spacing are affected. Commercial truck drivers using these vehicles are most at risk.
