The truckmaker is recalling certain 49X vehicles as well as certain 2017-2019 Western Star 4700, 4900, 5700, and 6900 trucks.
Western Star introduced the 47X vocational truck, a lighter-weight complement to the Western Star 49X.
More than a new truck, the Western Star 49X signals a new way forward for Daimler’s vocational lineup. HDT Senior Editor Jack Roberts gets behind the wheel on and off the pavement in this test drive.
