## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain trucks built with aluminum battery cables, the terminal that attaches the battery cable to the frame may break. If this happens, there could be a loss of electrical power and the engine could shut off suddenly.

Safety Risk:

A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

Daimler Trucks North America \(DTNA\) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to inspect the battery cables for corrosion and/or damage. They will be repaired or replaced with copper cables, as necessary.
