Daimler reports that up to 702 trucks equipped with certain Bendix rear disk brakes and suspensions may be effected by a disk brake caliper that, if installed incorrectly, could come in contact with the suspension which can impede brake performance and increase the risk of a crash.

Daimler Trucks will notify owners, and dealers will correct the position of the rear brake calipers, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to being June 7, 2016. Owners may contact Daimler Trucks customer service at 1-800-745-8000. Daimler’s recall number for this campaign is FL-705.
