## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Western Star 4700, 4800 and 4900 trucks manufactured November 15, 2014, to January 30, 2015.  In the affected vehicles, the speedometer may not operate properly, possibly not displaying the vehicle's speed.


## What can happen

If the speedometer does not show the vehicle speed, the driver may unknowingly exceed the posted speed limit, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will install a new speedometer, free of charge.  The recall began on July 28, 2015.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-745\-8000.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-683.
