## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles.

## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the frontal air bag fasteners, tightening them to the proper specification, free of charge.  The recall began on July 9, 2018.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-547\-0712.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-771.
