18 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 2011 Freightliner Coronado. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Freightliner been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Freightliner dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Engine and engine cooling › Engine › Diesel

Summary
Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 freightliner, sterling, and western star vehicles, equipped with detroit diesel EPA07 and EPA10, DD13 and DD15/16 engines, manufactured from January 20, 2006, through February 20, 2012. The pump to rail high pressure fuel line support system used on these engines is sensitive to assembly torque and may be damaged during service work.

Steering › Rack and pinion

Summary
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 freightliner cascadia, columbia, century, coronado, and classic xl trucks manufactured from November 1, 2004, through June 15, 2010 for the rack and pinion steering system. The lower pinion bearing may corrode and fail. A failed bearing may lead to damage of the spool valve seals. A damage spool valve seal may allow hydraulic fluid to flow to the right or left turn port instead of flowing to the return port.
Consequence
The steering could unexpectedly turn left or right, making the vehicle more difficult to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Daimler trucks will inspect the lower bearing for corrosion. If corrosion is found, the rack and pinion system will be replaced. If no corrosion is found, on the bearing, the bearing will be packed with grease and the rubber bellows will be replaced with sealant added between the bellows and the rack housing. An interim letter was mailed in December 2011. Owners may contact daimler trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.

Engine and engine cooling

Summary
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2011- 2012 business class M2 and coronado trucks manufactured from September 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010, equipped with a cummins isx or isl diesel engine. The v-band clamp assembly, part numbers Q187684, Q187685, and Q187686, used to connect the inlet and outlet cone sections to the diesel oxidation catalyst (doc)/diesel particulate filter (DPF) include a t-bolt which can fracture and fail when subjected to stress or load. A fracture or failure of the t-bolt may cause the clamp to loosen and the inlet or outlet sections attached to the doc/DPF housing to disconnect.
Consequence
If the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent prior to exiting the tailpipe, creating the risk of combustion and a fire. If both clamps fail, there is a risk in some applications that the doc/DPF housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Remedy
Daimler trucks is working with cummins to identify and notify owners of the recall campaign. Repairs will be performed by authorized cummins dealers free of charge. The safety recall began on October 10, 2011. Owners may contact cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Summary
Daimler trucks is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 freightliner business class M2, cascadia, century, columbia, coronado and sterling a-line vehicles built with meritor wabco electronic stability control (ESC) system manufactured from September 15, 2005 through September 1, 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics may adversely affect the slip angle calculation of the electronic stability control (ESC) system. This might cause the ESC to perceive an over steering situation and therefore apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle until the vehicle is perceived to be stable.
Consequence
If the driver is slow to react during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from the intended line of travel increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Daimler trucks will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ESC module with the appropriate software version as necessary, free of charge. An interim owner notification will be mailed on or about November 21, 2011. The date for availability of the final remedy is subject to validation testing and parts availability. The safety recall began on March 28, 2012. Owners may contact daimler trucks toll-free at 1-800-547-0712.

Trailer hitches › Fifth wheel assembly

Summary
Dtna is recalling certain model year 2011 business class M2, and coronado, model year 2011-2012 cascadia vehicles equipped with fontaine ultra lt fifth wheels and manufactured from April 7, 2010, through March 7, 2011. During the coupling process on vehicles equipped with pre-modification fontaine ultra lt fifth wheels, it is possible for the driver to partially close the fifth wheel lock, and if relying on a tug test (pull test), and not performing the required visual inspection, think that the fifth wheel lock is properly coupled to the trailer king pin, when in fact, it is not.
Consequence
If the tractor is not fully connected to the trailer, the trailer may disengage while in use, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Fontaine notified owners in February 2011, and is handling the remedy for this campaign. Fontaine is in the process of retrofitting all affected vehicles, free of charge. Owners may contact fontaine at 1-800-874-9780 or dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

Service brakes, air › Slack adjusters › Automatic

Summary
Dtna is recalling certain model year 2011 freightliner cascadia, columbia glider kit, coronado, M2, and western STAR4900 heavy trucks manufactured from October 16, 2010, through March 9, 2011, equipped with gunite automatic slack adjusters manufactured from October 15, 2010, through January 31, 2011. Due to an incomplete "knitting" of the iron at the time of casting, inadequate structural integrity of the slack adjuster housing can occur, which could cause the housing to break at the handle under normal operating loads.
Consequence
If the slack adjuster housing were to break, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function, causing the vehicle to have reduced braking capacity and, if mounted on the steer axle, the vehicle could pull to one side, possibly resulting in a crash.
