Recall 23V-105: Steering

Reported Feb 20, 2023 · 60,604 vehicles affected · Daimler Trucks North America, LLC

The drag link taper joint may not have been tightened sufficiently and could come loose, resulting in a complete separation of the drag link from the steering arm.

Rocker arm failure. Detroit released repair at no cost on the DD15 and up but not on the DD5 when they have the exact same problem and design and parts as the larger engines and they know that it is a problem.
