Daimler Trucks North America, LLC has issued a safety recall affecting certain Freightliner electric vehicles due to a defect that could lead to a sudden loss of power. The recall, identified as NHTSA Recall No. 25V-046, involves approximately 810 units of the 2020-2025 Freightliner eCascadia and the 2022-2026 Freightliner eM2 models. The issue stems from a faulty Electric Vehicle Power Distribution Module (EVDM), where the connector plate assembly may detach from its housing, potentially disconnecting circuits.

The malfunction could cause a complete loss of motive power without warning, increasing the risk of accidents. In some cases, drivers may receive instrument cluster warnings or illuminated telltale lamps before the failure occurs. Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has identified that vehicles manufactured before mid-January 2025 are affected, as newer models incorporate an updated EVDM that resolves the issue.
