Safety concerns prompt Daimler Trucks and Great Dane recalls.

WASHINGTON — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reporting that Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) and Great Dane Trailers are recalling certain models.

Daimler Trucks North America

“Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2026 Freightliner Cascadia Fifth Gen vehicles,” the NHTSA said. “The compressed natural gas fuel line was routed incorrectly, allowing it to chafe and damage wiring harnesses and brake lines.

Remedy

DTNA inspected and rerouted the compressed natural gas fuel line, as necessary free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA’s number for this recall is F1021.

Great Dane

Grate Dane is issuing a recall for improperly tightened roll-up door bolts. A roll-up door that sticks and requires greater force to open or close may move too fast, increasing the risk of injury.

“Great Dane Trailers is recalling certain 2026 Champion dry van trailers,” the NHTSA said. “The roll-up door operator bolts may not have been properly tightened and increasing the force required to open or close the door.”

Remedy

Dealers will tighten the operator bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Aug. 22.  Owners may contact Great Dane customer service at 1-877-369-3493.
