What this recall means for you
The tire valve stem extension on the inner wheel can contact the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged. This can cause the inner tire to lose air pressure, which increases the risk of a crash.
Authorized dealers will remove the inner valve stem extensions and stabilizers at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed January 18, 2022. You can also contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712 and reference recall FL912. This recall supersedes and expands an earlier recall, 20V-529 (FL-861), so vehicles already repaired under that recall will also need this new remedy completed.
