Defect
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Western Star 4900 trucks manufactured June 24, 2013, to April 30, 2014. The affected vehicles were manufactured without Anti-lock Brake Systems. As such, these vehicles fail to meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Safety risk
When not equipped with ABS, the affected vehicles have a greater chance of wheel lock up when braking, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will install an Anti-lock Brake System, free of charge. The recall began on October 28, 2014. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-665.
