| 10191152 | Updated Service Bulletin for upgrading BHM software for switch expansion module fault SPN 698 FMI 7. This bulletin replaces the version dated 11/11/2019. Figure 3 has been updated with a new hardware part number. A procedure was added to the data download process. |
| 10184785 | Revised Freightliner Service Bulletin for Axle Flange Gasket Replaced with O-Ring. Revision removed steps instructing removal and installation of wheels. Daimler Trucks North America has released a new axle shaft to hub rubber O-ring (part number 11-30728-000) as a replacement for the paper gasket (part number 11-14418-000). The new O-ring will provide better sealing and is reusable. It is quicker and easier to use compared to the paper gasket, because using a paper gasket requires cleaning the hub when the axle shaft is removed. |
| 10181759 | Updated Freightliner Service Bulletin for Powernet Troubleshooting Guide - Batteries, Path, Alternator, and Starter. This bulletin replaces the version dated 5/31/2017. Information is added about the BCT-460DTNA PowerNet Assessment Tool. When troubleshooting Powernet issues, use the BCT-460DTNA PowerNet Assessment Tool. As of May 29, 2018, the AutoMeter is the only Daimler-approved tool for troubleshooting vehicle Powernet issues. |
| 10181049 | Freightliner Service Bulletin for Axle Flange Gasket Replaced with O-Ring.

The new O-ring will provide better sealing and is reusable. It is quicker and easier to use compared to the paper gasket, because using a paper gasket requires cleaning the hub when the axle shaft is removed. |
| 10180382 | Tech Talk discussion on repair verification for codes like 'low air flow' when a trailer is not available. |
| 10177648 | Service Bulletin for Guidelines for Cleaning and Disinfecting Cab Surfaces. The following guidelines are for cleaning and disinfecting commonly touched surfaces on the inside and outside of a vehicle. For best results, follow cleaning and disinfecting procedures fully and consistently. Ensure there is adequate ventilation when using chemicals. NOTICE: Wipe down fragile components carefully to avoid damaging the vehicle. |
| 10177608 | Training Solutions for Fuel Leak Found at High Pressure Fuel Pump Weep Hole for Heavy Duty DD Engines. Occasionally we see trucks come in with fuel leaking from the high pressure fuel pump weep hole. This is NOT a defect in the pump and further diagnostics need to be performed to find the root cause. |
| 10177604 | Freightliner Service Bulletin for Non-Airliner Rear Suspension Crossmember Fastener Change. With the start of production on March 2, 2020, the fasteners used to assemble the non-Airliner rear suspension (bogie) crossmember have changed. The rear suspension bogie crossmember gussets to the C-channel will be assembled with 5/8 - 18 fasteners. This change includes a revision to a higher friction nut that requires an increase in tightening torque. The new higher friction nut can be identified by its green color. |
| 10173894 | Service Bulletin for Lengthening the Backup Light Harness. Though the backup light harness is long enough to connect to the backup light switch, it may be short enough that the wire seals in the connector can be stressed. Moisture entering through the seals can cause corrosion, resulting in a bad connection and/or failure of the switch. As a result, backup lights and, if equipped, the backup alarm, may not function when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. |
| 10173645 | Customer Advisory Letter for GWR Label Correction. Freightliner 108SD/114SD, Coronado, New Cascadia, and Business Class M2 vehicles and Western Star 4700 and 4900 vehicles equipped with a certain tire rating have the wrong Component GWR label. DTNA is requesting the current Component GWR label be replaced with the correct label. |
| 10172974 | Freightliner Service Bulletin for Front Axle Spacer Replacement. This service bulletin replaces the version dated 05/01/2016. This bulletin is updated to include the parts list. Some vehicles may exhibit a lean (right or left) due to weight difference on the front suspension. While this does not affect the operation of the vehicle, it may be visually unpleasing to many customers. To correct this condition, replace the existing front axle spacer on the low side of the vehicle with a thicker one. |
| 10172649 | Customer Service Announcement saying that Service Pack (SP) 3 for DiagnosticLink 8.11 Standard and Professional will be available for download from the Detroit Diesel server. |
| 10172579 | Open recall and Field service Campaigns report send out to Dealers, General Managers, Service managers and warranty managers. |
| 10172574 | Freightliner Service Bulletin for vibration troubleshooting - finding the cause. This version replaces the version dated 5/1/14 and adds New Cascadia. |
| 10172547 | Warranty Policy Letter explaining the Warranty Department is aligning with the frame rail repair policy, published in DTNA Workshop Manuals, which states that there are very few cases in which welding a heat-treated frame rail is allowed. Therefore, before welding anything on a frame rail, contact the applicable regional service representative for approval. |
