Manufactured Begin Date: September 24th, 2012

Defect Summary:
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC. (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2013-2017 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles manufactured September 24, 2012, to May 27, 2015 and equipped with compressed natural gas (CNG) engines.

Due to its location, the PDM may be sprayed with water and contaminants from the road, possibly causing the PDM to short circuit.

Corrective Summary:
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the PDM, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin November 7, 2016. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-721.
