General Information
On behalf of the DETROIT™ Powertrain Division listed below, Daimler Truck North America LLC (DTNA) has decided that
a defect that relates to emission exists and is initiating an Emission Recall Campaign to modify affected vehicles.

PROBLEM: An EGR fault monitor may not run as frequently as expected in certain situations. This may result in
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) failing to illuminate when a failure has occurred.
SOLUTION: Reprogramming the Motor Control Module (MCM) will correct this issue.
There are approximately 8,191 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 red completion
sticker (Form WAR260).
Replacement Parts
If our records show your dealership has ordered any vehicle(s) involved in campaign number D24R7, a list of the
customers and vehicle identification numbers will be available on DTNA Portal. Please refer to this list when ordering
parts for this recall.
No parts are required for this repair.

Recall Campaign
IMPORTANT - After Repair is Complete:
Attach a red completion sticker (WAR260) to the base label (WAR259).
If the vehicle does not have a base label, clean a spot on the appropriate location, and attach a base label, prior to
attaching the completion sticker.
If a campaign kit is not required, write the campaign number on a blank sticker and attach it to the base label.
(Failure to install a completion sticker may result in a chargeback of the campaign claim.)
Claim Reimbursement - Labor Allowance
IMPORTANT: OWL must be viewed prior to performing the recall to ensure the vehicle is involved and the campaign has
not been previously completed. Also, check for a completion sticker prior to beginning work.
You will be reimbursed for your parts, labor, and handling (landed cost for Export Distributors) by submitting your claim
through the Warranty system within 30 days of completing this campaign.
e In OWL, use the ‘Retrieve’ function and select the appropriate procedure. This will auto-populate the PFP

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that your engine/equipment may be emitting pollutants in
excess of federal emission standards (and/or California standards) as defined in Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. These emission standards protect the public health and welfare from air pollution. To ensure your full
protection, by federal law, under the emission warranty on your engine/equipment, and your right to participate in future
recalls, we recommend you have your engine/equipment serviced as soon as possible. Failure to do so can be
considered improper maintenance.
