Fccc recall: Electrical system

What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) MT45G, and MT55G vehicles. The engine ground stud may not have been properly tightened, causing the vehicle to seek other electrical paths to ground.

What could happen

If other wires or components unintentionally serve as an engine ground, they may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the grounding of the engine ground stud, repairing it as needed, free of charge. DTNA issued owners interim notifications on December 3, 2018. The recall began October 14, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL795.
