Some 2024 Freightliner M2 trucks may have a gear shifter with a PARK position even though the transmission has no park pawl. When the shifter is placed in PARK, the transmission can actually be in NEUTRAL, so the vehicle may roll away unexpectedly, raising the risk of a crash.
If you own an affected vehicle, check your VIN for open recalls. An authorized dealer will inspect the transmission gear shifter and replace it if needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed April 4, 2024.
