- [2023206](/recalls/tc/2023206.md), 2023-04-05: Steering. Issue: On certain trucks, the cotter pin may be missing from the tie rod castle nut on the front steer axle. As a result, the nut could loosen. If this happens, the tie rod could detach from the steering arm and cause a loss of steering control.  Safety Risk: A loss of steering control could create the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Daimler Truck North America \(DTNA\) will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

Canadian regulations require that, if a vehicle has dash backlighting, the low beam headlamps and tail lamps must automatically switch on when it is dark or the tail lamps must stay on at all times.

For Western Star 4700 ZODIAC models, the service facility will replace or modify the wiring harness.

- [2022546](/recalls/tc/2022546.md), 2022-09-28: Steering. Issue: On certain trucks, the tie rod end clamps could crack and loosen.
