Certain 2020–2023 Freightliner Cascadia and 2022 Western Star 49X vehicles previously repaired under recall numbers 23V073 or 22V817 are affected. The front axle brake modulator valves may corrode and cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking initiated by Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Roll Stability Control (RSC), increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the brake modulator valves free of charge; owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 8, 2026, and owners may contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712 (DTNA recall F1039).
