Freightliner recall: Power train
What is wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024 Freightliner M2 Business Class vehicles. The vehicle may be incorrectly equipped with a transmission gear shifter that includes a 'PARK' position despite the transmission not having a park pawl.
What could happen
When shifted into PARK, the transmission will actually be in NEUTRAL, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway and crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the transmission gear shifter, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL991.
