## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Freightliner Cascadia, Business Class M2, 108SD, 114SD, 122SD, Coronado Glider, and Columbia Glider vehicles manufactured June 29, 2015, to September 7, 2015.  In the affected vehicles, the steering arm bolts may not be properly tightened.


## What can happen

If the steering arm bolts are not properly tightened, the steering arm may separate from the knuckle causing a loss of steering and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks North America or Detroit Diesel authorized service facilities will inspect the steering arm bolts, tightening them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on November 12, 2015.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-745\-8000.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-691.
