What's wrong?
The affected 2022 Freightliner Cascadia uses ABS and ESC as electronic helpers built into the brake and stability systems. ABS helps keep the wheels from locking during hard braking, and ESC helps the truck stay on its intended path when sensors detect a stability problem. Both systems need to remain active while the truck is in service.
On these trucks, an electrical push switch was installed with a feature that can deactivate the electronic portions of those systems. If that feature is engaged, ABS and ESC are switched off instead of staying available as required. The issue is not a worn brake part or failed sensor. It is a compliance problem caused by a deactivation feature in a limited production group.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or driver should not expect a noise, vibration, pedal change, or dashboard symptom to prove the feature is present.
Who's affected?
Both listed systems use the same electrical switch.

Not every 2022 Freightliner Cascadia truck is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Disabled ABS and ESC leave the truck without anti-lock braking and electronic stability control support, which can lead to loss of braking or stability control and increase crash risk. If your VIN is included, drive cautiously and arrange the available remedy promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Freightliner dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Freightliner Cascadia is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Freightliner dealer or Freightliner customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to start the free repurchase process.
- Reference recall number 22V339 and Freightliner recall FL932 when you call.
- Keep ABS and ESC enabled until the repurchase is complete; disabled ABS and ESC can reduce braking or stability control.
- Bring the recall notice if Freightliner mailed one, or bring your VIN and recall number if the notice is missing.
What happens at the repair
At a Freightliner dealer, the service desk should handle this campaign as a DTNA repurchase, not a parts repair. The recall remedy is available, and there is no owner cost for the recall remedy. If you already paid for a repair covered by this recall before the reimbursement cutoff listed in DTNA's plan, DTNA offers a refund path through authorized dealers. Bring invoices, payment records, and any repair order tied to the ABS or ESC condition so the dealer can submit the reimbursement request.
