Freightliner, Western Star trucks recalled for driveline separation risk

Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2027 Western Star and Freightliner trucks with specific Cummins drivelines. The driveline may be missing a snap ring in the slip yoke assembly, which could cause the driveline to separate from the vehicle. Separation can cause a loss of drive power and detached parts can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
