Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling approximately 89 model-year 2020 Freightliner 108SD and model-year 2020-2021 Freightliner Coronado, 114SD, and Western Star 4700 and 4900 vehicles.

The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the certification label may be incorrect, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and Rims - Other Than Passenger Cars." 

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will update the GAWR labels, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin June 7, 2020. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

DTNA's number for this recall is FL847.
