Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Freightliner Business Class M2, 108SD, and 114SD trucks. The affected trucks have been modified to be equipped with both left hand and right hand instrument clusters. Due to incompatibilities between the displays, the instrument clusters and/or turn signals may become unresponsive.

CONSEQUENCE:

Unresponsive instrument clusters and/or turn signals can increase the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left instrument cluster with a cluster compatible with the right display, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 19, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA’s number for this recall is FL731.
