NHTSA Campaign 20V634000
TIRES
Issued by Daimler Trucks North America LLC · Reported Oct 14, 2020 · 53 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Western Star 4700 and 4900 and Freightliner Coronado, 108SD and 114SD vehicles. The vehicle certification label contains incorrect information, stating a Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) that exceeds the tire capacity rating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 120, "Wheels and Rims-Other than passenger cars."
Consequence
Incorrect weight rating information on the certification labels could result in potential overloading of the axles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will install accurate GAWR labels, free of charge. The recall began November 25, 2020. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-864.
