The problem
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Freightliner Cascadia trucks manufactured November 19, 2013, to July 14, 2014, and equipped with certain model Side-Mount compressed natural gas (CNG) Fuel Systems, Part No. 23736011, manufactured August 1, 2013, to August 21, 2014 and Motion Industries T1700-06 flexible fuel hoses. The stainless steel braid hose reinforcement may corrode prematurely near the fitting crimp inside the slave tank enclosure.

If the corrosion progresses and goes undetected, the hose could begin to leak CNG, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.

DTNA will notify owners and dealers will replace the defective hose, free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2015. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-678.
