## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2021697](/recalls/tc/2021697.md), 2021-11-12: Electrical. Issue: On certain trucks, the pass\-through power stud \(an electrical connection located on the bulkhead\) may come into contact with the bulkhead. If this happens, there could be electrical arcing \(sparks\). Note: This recall replaces FL\-766 \(Transport Canada Recall 2018\-190\). If your truck was inspected as a part of that recall, but the pass\-through power stud was not replaced, your truck requires this repair.  Safety Risk: Electrical arcing could create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America \(DTNA\) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the pass\-through power stud.
- [2019237](/recalls/tc/2019237.md), 2019-05-17: Brakes. Issue: Certain trucks were built with air reservoir tanks that are too small in relation to the size of the air brake chambers. Canadian regulations require enough air reservoir capacity to ensure the brakes work even with heavy use or when there is a partial loss of the air system.  Safety Risk: Reduced braking could cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their truck to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility to modify the truck to ensure it meets Canadian regulations.
- [2017583](/recalls/tc/2017583.md), 2017-11-28: Brakes. On certain vehicles with air brakes, after several hard brake applications, the brake light pressure switch may not activate the brake lights with a light application of the brake pedal. If the brake lights do not illuminate, following road users would be unaware of the intent of the driver to slow the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will repair the brake light pressure switch.
- [2017358](/recalls/tc/2017358.md), 2017-07-18: Fuel System. On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins ISX 15 engines and certain fuel pumps, the drive gear on the fuel pump may spin loose on the drive shaft.  This could result in a loss of pumping function, which could result in an engine stall without warning and not being able to be restarted, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Cummins\-authorized dealers will replace the fuel pump.
