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.

|---|---|
| SF611REV | 2020-10-19. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Revised Field Service Campaign for Cascadia CTP Reset. Certain vehicles equipped with DTNA's proprietary Common Telematics Platform (CTP) are not communicating and, therefore, are unable to benefit from over-the-air software updates. The CTP will be reset and some will also be initialized. |
| SF610REV | 2020-10-19. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Revised Field Service Campaign for Cascadia CTP Initialization. Certain vehicles equipped with DTNA's proprietary Common Telematics Platform (CTP) are not communicating and, therefore, are unable to benefit from over-the-air software updates. The CTP will be initialized. |
| SF576REV4 | 2020-10-19. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Revised Field Service Campaign sent out to customers to fix Common Telematics Platform (cTP), and Truck Data Center (TDC) communication issues. Certain vehicles built with DTNA's proprietary Common Telematics Platform (CTP), and Truck Data Center (TDC) are not communicating or have outdated software that cannot be updated and, therefore, are unable to benefit from over-the-air software updates. |
| 20TS-06 | 2020-10-13. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. DDC Technical Service Letter for GHG17 DD Platform Heavy Duty Oil Pan Drain Plug Inserts. Some GHG17 DD Platform Heavy Duty oil pans may experience an issue with the oil pan drain plug insert spinning during removal or installation while completing an oil change. Leaking may also be observed at the drain plug and/or other plugs in the oil pan. |
| SB54-336 | 2020-10-12. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT. Updated Freightliner Service Bulletin for Rewiring the MPC2 Camera Fuse. This bulletin replaces the version dated 9/15/20. Information has been added about raising the system voltage to normal range to clear the "Lost Communication to MPC" code. The multipurpose camera 2 (MPC2) power is supplied via fuse 14 (F14) in New Cascadia vehicles built before August 24, 2020. With this configuration, fault code 232/524127/9 - "Lost Communication to MPC" becomes active during low voltage disconnect (LVD) situations when load shedding is required to maintain critical systems. These instructions provide the procedure for moving the MPC2 power supply from fuse 14 (F14) to fuse 35 (F35). Moving the MPC2 power supply requires the installation of a new etched vehicle power distribution module (VPDM) cover to document the new MPC2 location. |
| SB35-036 | 2020-10-12. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; POWER TRAIN. Freightliner Service Bulletin for Axle Flange Gasket Replaced with O-Ring. Daimler Trucks North America has released a new axle shaft to hub rubber O-ring (part number 11-30728-000) as a replacement for the paper gasket (part number 11-14418-000). The new O-ring will provide better sealing and is reusable. It is quicker and easier to use compared to the paper gasket, because using a paper gasket requires cleaning the hub when the axle shaft is removed. |
