2020.0 Freightliner Cascadia - Brakes

Recall Summary Daimler Truck North America is recalling certain 2020-2023 Freightliner Cascadia and Western Star 49X trucks because previous brake repairs may not have been completed properly, and a software issue may fail to detect corrosion in brake modulator valves.
