What's wrong?
On affected 2014-2015 Freightliner Cascadia trucks, the flexible fuel hoses are part of the side-mount compressed natural gas fuel system. These hoses carry compressed natural gas through the fuel delivery system, and the stainless steel braid around each hose helps support the line near the crimped fitting.
The problem is at the fitting crimp inside the slave tank enclosure, where the hose reinforcement can corrode too early. Once that braid corrodes, the hose loses strength at the place where it needs to stay tight and sealed. That leaves the fuel delivery hose vulnerable at a high-stress connection point in the CNG system.
There is no warning sign before failure. A Freightliner dealer needs to inspect the included Cascadia trucks and address the affected CNG fuel hose hardware under recall 15V105.
Who's affected?
Both listed model years share the same fuel-system component category.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Corrosion that goes undetected can let the CNG hose leak. A CNG leak raises the fire risk when an ignition source is nearby. If your VIN is included, schedule the recall repair soon and ask the dealer how to handle the truck if you suspect a fuel leak. Repair is free at any franchised Freightliner dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2015 Freightliner Cascadia is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Freightliner dealer to schedule the free flexible fuel hose replacement that addresses the CNG leak and fire risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Freightliner mailed one. If not, reference recall number 15V105 when you call.
- Keep ignition sources away from the CNG tank area until the hose is replaced.
- Call Freightliner customer service at 1-800-745-8000 with questions about scheduling or recall FL-678.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Freightliner technician replaces the defective flexible fuel hose in the side-mount CNG fuel system. The recall covers the hose because the stainless steel braid reinforcement can corrode near the fitting crimp inside the slave tank enclosure. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, and the repair is free. The technician should confirm the replacement hose is installed before the truck returns to service.
