Issue

Issue:
On a small number of trucks, the high-voltage inverter cable may not have been tightened properly to the junction box. As a result, the connection could become loose and cause electrical arcing (sparks). If this happens, the high-voltage system could shut down and cause a sudden loss of power to the wheels.

Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the high-voltage inverter cable fasteners.
