Subject: Western Star Power Cable Studs

 

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Star Truck Sales, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on Western Star 4700, 4900, 5700, and 6900 model vehicles manufactured October 18, 2016, through February 6, 2018.

On certain vehicles, the bulkhead pass through power stud with an attached gasket seal may not protrude through the bulkhead adequately. If improperly installed, the power stud may contact the bulkhead, resulting in potential arcing, which may increase the risk of a fire.

For the final remedy, the bulkhead pass through power stud will be inspected and replaced as needed.

This is the second of two notices regarding this recall.  The repair is available and parts have been secured.  If you had the interim repair performed, your vehicle still requires the final repair.  Please contact an authorized Daimler Trucks North America dealer to arrange to have the recall performed and to ensure that parts are available at the dealership.  To locate an authorized dealer, search online at www.DaimlerTrucksNorthAmerica.com.  On the menu tab, select “Contact,” scroll down to “Find a Dealer,” and select the appropriate brand.  The Recall will take approximately 30 minutes to three hours, depending on the repair, and will be performed at no charge to you.

You may be liable for any progressive damage that results from your failure to complete the Recall within a reasonable time after receiving notification.

If you do not own the vehicle that corresponds to the identification number(s) which appears on the Recall Notification, please return the notification to the Warranty Campaigns Department with any information you can furnish that will assist us in locating the present owner. If you have leased this vehicle, Federal law requires that you forward this notice to the lessee within 10 days.  If you are a subsequent stage manufacturer, Federal law requires that you forward this notice to your distributors and retail outlets within five working days.  If you have paid to have this recall condition corrected prior to this notice you may be eligible to receive reimbursement. Please see the reverse side of this notice for details.

If you have questions about this Recall, please contact the Warranty Campaigns Department at (800) 547-0712, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time Monday through Friday, e-mail address DTNA.Warranty.Campaigns@Daimler.com, or the Customer Assistance Center at (800) FTL-HELP after normal business hours.
