ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Understeering during a J-turn may increase the risk of a crash.
20 safety recall campaigns, 4 defect investigations (1 open), 24 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Understeering during a J-turn may increase the risk of a crash.
Hazard warning lights that flash improperly may cause confusion for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Brakes that pull to one side may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
Driving with tires that are not compatible with their rims can reduce tire performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Brakes that pull to one side during an ACC braking event may cause a sudden change in vehicle direction, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the brake lights remain illuminated, drivers may be unaware when the truck is actually slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2021 FREIGHTLINER CASCADIAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
