Freightliner Cascadia Recall 22V919: Incompatible tires can reduce grip and raise crash risk

NHTSA campaign 22V919, reported December 12, 2022, 49 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain heavy trucks are equipped with tires that are not compatible with their 8.25-inch rims. Because of this mismatch, the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120 for wheels and rims. Driving with tires that do not fit their rims properly can reduce tire performance, which increases the risk of a crash.

If you own or operate an affected vehicle, contact an authorized dealer to have the tires replaced. The repair is free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2023. You can also contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712, referencing recall FL-962.
