The problem
Dtna is recalling certain model year 2011 and 2012 coronado vehicles equipped with a set forward front axle and a logger bumper with a center tow device manufactured from march 9, 2010, through july 16, 2011. Certain bumper mounting brackets may crack.
The risk
If not repaired, the crack may lead to the bumper falling off of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dtna will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bumper mounting brackets free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during november 2011. Owners may contact daimler trucks at 1-800-547-0712.
