## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America \(DTNA\) is recalling certain 2018 Freightliner Cascadia, M2 Business Class, 114SD, and 122SD trucks, and Western Star 4700 and 5700 trucks.  These vehicles have tow hooks used for recovery purposes that may fail during use.


## What can happen

If the tow hook fails without warning during a recovery operation, the sudden release of the vehicle may increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle's tow hooks and, depending on their production date codes, will replace them, free of charge.  The recall began on September 14, 2017.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-745\-8000.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-742.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
