Freightliner service campaign SF721

Freightliner filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Sep 24, 2025, received Oct 3, 2025, about the suspension — 3 documents under this number: SF721-OWN LTR, SF721-DLR LTR, SF721-Bulletin. It names 5 model years (2021–2025). A service campaign 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.

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.

Model years it names

Also filed against: 2021 Freightliner Cascadia; 2022 Freightliner Cascadia; 2023 Freightliner Cascadia; 2024 Freightliner Cascadia; 2025 Freightliner Cascadia.

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Freightliner SF721 a recall?

No. A service campaign 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 SF721 repair free?

A service campaign 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 SF721 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 5 model years: 2021 Freightliner Cascadia, 2022 Freightliner Cascadia, 2023 Freightliner Cascadia, 2024 Freightliner Cascadia, 2025 Freightliner Cascadia. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
