Problem Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Western Star 49X and 2025 Freightliner Cascadia vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 136, "Electronic Stability Control Systems on Heavy Vehicles." Risk Incorrect parameters can decrease vehicle stability or braking performance, increasing the risk of crash. Fix Dealers will update the ESC software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 22, 2024. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL993.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. FL993 is the number Western Star assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V058000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is FL993 the same recall as 24V058000?

Yes. FL993 is Western Star’s own number for it; 24V058000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does FL993 cover?

2024–2025 Freightliner and Western Star, 7 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the FL993 repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
