Defect. Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) MT45G, and MT55G vehicles. The engine ground stud may not have been properly tightened, causing the vehicle to seek other electrical paths to ground.

Risk. If other wires or components unintentionally serve as an engine ground, they may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the grounding of the engine ground stud, repairing it as needed, free of charge. DTNA issued owners interim notifications on December 3, 2018. The recall began October 14, 2019. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL795.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
