Daimler Truck filed this with NHTSA as an emissions communication dated Nov 27, 2024, received Dec 4, 2024, about the engine — 3 documents under this number: D24R4-OWN LTR, D24R4-DLR LTR, D24R4-Bulletin. It names 6 model years across Freightliner and Western Star (2016). An emissions communication is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
One page for every brand it was filed under. Each brand’s bulletins: Freightliner · Western Star.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Daimler Truck D24R4 a recall?
No. A emissions communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is the D24R4 repair free?
A emissions communication is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does D24R4 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years across 2 brands (Freightliner and Western Star): 2016 Freightliner 122SD, 2016 Freightliner Cascadia, 2016 Freightliner Coronado, 2016 Western Star 4900, 2016 Western Star 5700, 2016 Western Star 6900. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
