Daimler Trucks Recalls 3,894 Model-Year 2027 Trucks: Driveline May Separate Over Missing Snap Ring

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has reported a recall of 3,894 model-year 2027 trucks to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The campaign is NHTSA 26V737, DTNA recall F1046, reported on November 6.

The affected models are the Western Star 49X and 47X, and the Freightliner Cascadia Fifth Generation, Freightliner Cascadia, 114SD, Business Class M2 and 108SD, in each case only vehicles equipped with certain Cummins drivelines.

The defect sits in the driveline's slip-yoke assembly: on some vehicles a snap ring may be missing, which can allow the driveline to separate while driving. A separated driveline can cause a loss of drive power and can become a road hazard. DTNA estimates that about 1 percent of the recalled vehicles actually carry the defect.

The remedy is a free inspection and, where needed, replacement of the driveline. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 5, 2027. Owners can reach DTNA customer service at 800-547-0712.
