Daimler Trucks Recalls 3,894 Trucks: the Driveline May Separate

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2027 Western Star 49X, Western Star 47X, Freightliner Cascadia Fifth Gen, Freightliner Cascadia, Freightliner 114SD, Freightliner Business Class M2 and Freightliner 108SD vehicles equipped with certain Cummins drivelines. The driveline may be missing a snap ring in the slip yoke assembly, possibly causing the driveline to separate from the vehicle. The campaign is NHTSA 26V737, reported November 6, 2026, and covers 3,894 vehicles.

A driveline that separates while the truck is moving can cause a loss of drive power and leave debris on the road, increasing the risk of a crash. Daimler Trucks own number for the recall is F1046, and the remedy is a dealer inspection and repair at no cost.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 5, 2027. Owners can check a VIN at NHTSA.gov/recalls. A related Daimler campaign the same day, 26V736, covers seven vehicles with an incorrect gross axle weight rating on the certification label.
