Problem
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2018 Freightliner MT45G and MT55G custom chassis built with certain uStart Ultra Capacitors. The bracket that secures the capacitor to the battery tray may damage the capacitor and allow water to enter the capacitor, causing corrosion or a possible electrical short.
Risk
An electrical short can increase the risk of fire.
Fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will remove the capacitors, replacing them with an additional conventional battery, free of charge. The recall began on April 13, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-760.
