North America LLC Recall Campaign

April 2015

FL641AB

NHTSA #13V-099
Transport Canada #13-086

Subject: Freightliner Cascadia Daytime Running Lights

Models Affected: Two specific groups of Freightliner Cascadia
vehicles that use the forward turn signal bulb filaments as turn
signal indicators and as daytime running lights (DRLs), SAM Cab
software version 6.2, and the “Turn-Tip” function activated. The
first group was manufactured with this configuration May 7, 2012,
through March 2, 2013. The second group received this as part of
a software update during a service visit. (Vehicles not configured
in this manner are not affected.)

General Information

Daimler Trucks North America LLC, on behalf of its Freightliner Trucks Division, has decided that a defect that
relates to motor vehicle safety exists on the vehicles mentioned above.

There are approximately 57,000 vehicles involved in this campaign.

The “Turn-Tip” feature allows the turn signals to flash three to five times after the turn signal lever is released if
the lever is held in an unlatched position for less than 500 milliseconds. On certain vehicles, due to an anomaly in
the SAM Cab 6.2 software, the forward DRL on the side of the turn tip activation will not automatically reactivate
after the turn tip function completes its cycle. Failure of one or both of the DRLs to illuminate reduces the vehicle’s
visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash

The software update has been validated and is now available. A software update will be installed to correct the
operation of the DRLs and "Turn Tip” feature.

Additional Repairs

Dealers must complete all outstanding Recall and Field Service campaigns prior to the sale or delivery of a vehicle.
A Dealer will be liable for any progressive damage that results from its failure to complete campaigns before sale
or delivery of a vehicle.

Owners may be liable for any progressive damage that results from failure to complete campaigns within a
reasonable time after receiving notification.

Work Instructions

Please refer to the attached work instructions. Prior to performing the campaign, check the vehicle for a completion
sticker (Form WAR260).

Replacement Parts
There are no replacement parts for this campaign.

If our records show your dealership has ordered any vehicles involved in campaign number FL641, a list of the
customers and vehicle identification numbers will be available in OWL.

Removed Parts

U.S. and Canadian Dealers, please follow Warranty Failed Parts Tracking shipping instructions for the disposition
of all removed parts. Export distributors, please destroy removed parts unless otherwise advised.

All kits must be in resalable condition. PAR requests must include the original purchase invoice number. Export

Please note that the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended (Title 49, United States Code,
Chapter 301), requires the owner's vehicle(s) be corrected within a reasonable time after parts are available to you.
The Act states that failure to repair a vehicle within 60 days after tender for repair shall be prima facie evidence
of an unreasonable time. However, circumstances of a particular situation may reduce the 60 day period. Failure
to repair a vehicle within a reasonable time can result in either the obligation to (a) replace the vehicle with an
identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle, without charge, or (b) refund the purchase price in full, less a reasonable
allowance for depreciation. The Act further prohibits dealers from selling a vehicle unless all outstanding recalls
are performed. Any lessor is required to send a copy of the recall notification to the lessee within 10 days. Any
subsequent stage manufacturer is required to forward this notice to its distributors and retail outlets within five
