Recall 19V367 affects 253 2019 Freightliner and Western Star vehicles for loose brake caliper bolts. Repair is free at any franchised Daimler Trucks dealer.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 253 2019 Freightliner Cascadia, 108SD, 114SD, M2 Business Class, Western Star 5700, and FCCC XC chassis vehicles under recall 19V367 because the brake caliper mounting bolts were not tightened enough. Loose bolts reduce brake effectiveness and raise the risk of a crash, and dealers will inspect and retorque the bolts for free.

What's wrong?
An air disc brake caliper is the clamp that squeezes brake pads against a rotor at each wheel to slow the truck. The caliper is bolted to a mounting bracket on the axle, and those bolts have to be tightened to a precise torque so the caliper stays locked in place under the loads of heavy-duty braking. Correct bolt torque is what keeps the caliper square to the rotor every time the driver hits the pedal.
On these 2019 Freightliner, Western Star, and FCCC vehicles, the caliper mounting bolts were assembled at the Meritor York axle plant without confirmed torque data. That means some bolts were left under-tightened. Once a bolt loses clamp load, it can back out of the bracket, and the caliper itself can shift or separate from the axle during braking.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is often the brake itself, with reduced stopping force, unusual noise from the wheel area, or a visibly loose caliper found during a pre-trip inspection.
Who's affected?
Covers nine model lines across three Daimler truck brands (Freightliner, Western Star, and FCCC chassis), all built in a five-week window in late 2018 and sharing the same air disc brake assembly.

What's the safety risk?
Loose brake caliper mounting bolts reduce braking effectiveness and increase the risk of a crash. Stopping distances grow as the caliper shifts on its mount, and the pedal can feel different than usual. Treat any change in brake feel as a reason to stop driving and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Fccc dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2019 Freightliner, Western Star, or FCCC chassis is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised DTNA dealer to schedule the brake-caliper inspection and bolt re-torque that fixes the insufficiently tightened mounting bolts.
- Reference recall number 19V367 (DTNA recall FL-816) when you call so the service desk pulls the correct repair instructions.
- Call DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 with questions about scheduling, parts, or the owner letter mailed on June 25, 2019.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Avoid hard braking, leave extra following distance, and watch for reduced brake response.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fccc technician inspects the air disc brake caliper mounting bolts and tightens or repairs them as needed, free under the recall. Parts and labor are covered. Daimler Trucks North America has not finalized a separate reimbursement program yet; the company has stated that a copy of the reimbursement plan will be filed as a supplemental report when it becomes available. If you have already paid out of pocket for related brake caliper work, keep your repair receipts and contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712, referencing recall number FL-816, to ask how prior expenses will be handled once the plan is published.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V367?
Recall 19V367 covers 253 2019 Freightliner 108SD, 114SD, Cascadia, M2 Business Class, Western Star 5700, and FCCC XC chassis vehicles with air disc brakes whose caliper mounting bolts were not tightened to specification. Loose bolts can reduce brake effectiveness and increase crash risk.
What should I do if my 2019 Freightliner or Western Star is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 19V367. If it is, contact a DTNA dealer to schedule the brake caliper inspection and repair. Reference recall number 19V367 and the DTNA recall number FL-816 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to perform the recall repair at no cost. DTNA dealers will inspect the brake caliper mounting bolts and repair the vehicle free of charge regardless of where it was originally purchased.
What is the safety risk?
Insufficiently tightened brake caliper mounting bolts can loosen in service, reducing the effectiveness of the air disc brakes and increasing stopping distance. Reduced brake effectiveness raises the risk of a crash, especially in a loaded commercial vehicle. The dealer inspection and repair restores the brakes to specification.
What warning signs should I watch for?
Watch for any change in brake feel or performance, including longer stopping distances, unusual noise from the brakes, or a pulling sensation when braking. If you notice any of these symptoms on your 2019 Freightliner, Western Star, or FCCC chassis, contact a DTNA dealer and reference recall 19V367.
