## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain 2018\-2021 Freightliner 114SD, 108SD, and Business Class M2 vehicles.  The engine harness wires may chafe at various locations around the air compressor and the frame rail.  The damaged wires may short causing the engine to stall without any prior warning.


## What can happen

An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for adequate harness clearance and verify that the harness has not been damaged.  Vehicles with a damaged harness will receive a new harness that consists of a severe duty wrapping and additional hardware.  All repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began October 28, 2020.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-547\-0712.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-860.
