Issue

Issue: On certain trucks, the tread on the steer axle tires could separate while driving. If this happens, the tire could fail and suddenly lose air pressure. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a specific air dam and certain Bridgestone R284, R268, or R283S ECOPIA tires. Safety Risk: A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the steer tires, as necessary. DTNA recommends that drivers should pay special attention to tire inflation, loading and make extra inspections of the tire tread and sidewall before and after each trip.
