Subject: Cascadia CTP Reset
Models Affected: Specific Freightliner Cascadia vehicles manufactured January 16, 2017, through March, 27, 2020, and equipped
with DTNA CTP proprietary telematics.

General Information
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its Freightliner Trucks Division, is initiating Field
Service Campaign SF611 to modify the vehicles mentioned above.
Certain vehicles equipped with DTNA’s proprietary Common Telematics Platform (CTP) are not communicating

The CTP will be reset and some will also be initialized.
There are approximately 8,400 vehicles involved.
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.
Please contact Warranty Campaigns for consideration of additional charges prior to performing the repair.

Work Instructions
Please refer to the attached work instructions. Prior to performing the campaign, check the vehicle for a
completion sticker (Form WAR261).

Replacement Parts
No parts are needed for this repair.
If our records show your dealership has ordered any vehicle(s) involved in campaign number SF611, a list of
the customers and vehicle identification numbers will be available on DTNAConnect.

IMPORTANT: When the campaign has been completed, locate the base completion label in the appropriate location on the vehicle, and attach the gray completion sticker provided in the field service kit (Form WAR261). If
the vehicle does not have a base completion label, clean a spot on the appropriate location of the vehicle and
first attach the base completion label (Form WAR259). If a field service kit is not required or there is no completion sticker in the kit, write the campaign number on a blank sticker and attach it to the base completion label.
