Issue
On certain trucks, an undersized wire in the ground circuit harness could overheat and melt a connector. If this happens, the engine may stall and you may not be able to restart it.
Safety Risk
A loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an authorized DTNA Service Facility to replace the ground wire harness.
