							| Description | 
							Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Freightliner Cascadia tractors manufactured from April 12, 1210, through March 2, 2013, and equipped with a SAMCAB software version 6.2.  On vehicles configured to have the turn signals operate as Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and the 'Turn-Tip' turn signal function activated, the DRLs may not illuminate properly after using the 'Turn-Tip' function while driving. | 
						 
						
							| Consequences | 
							Failure of the DRLs to illuminate reduces visibility to other drivers and increases the risk of a vehicle crash.   | 
						 
						
							| Corrective action | 
							DTNA sent notification to owners on May 6, 2015, instructing them to contact their dealers and arrange to have the free SAMCAB software updated to correct the operation of the DRLs and "Turn Tip" feature.  Owners may contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712. | 
						 
						
							| Notes | 
							DTNA's recall campaign number is FL-641.Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |
