Service bulletins for the 2018 Freightliner Cascadia

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

A water leak in the seams between the cab roof and cab side wall or back wall can result in water becoming trapped in the upper A-pillar area in some Cascadia and New Cascadia vehicles.
