## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain 2021\-2022 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles equipped with a Cummins X15 engine.  The capscrews that attach the flywheel to the crankshaft may have been improperly torqued, allowing the flywheel to detach.


## What can happen

A detached flywheel can cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.  Additionally, driveline pieces may be ejected from the engine compartment, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

DTNA will work with the engine manufacturer Cummins Inc. to notify owners, and Cummins dealers will properly torque the capscrews and inspect for possible damage and, if necessary, repair any damage found, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin April 12, 2021.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-547\-0712.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-875.


## 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.
