- : This page's summary panel and story image showed one model-year span, 2022-2027, for every model in this recall, and from Oct. 24 the summary panel left out the 2023 Freightliner 108SD and the 2024-2027 FCCC XCS and XBS. NHTSA's record covers the 2022-2025 Freightliner Business Class M2, the 2023 108SD, the 2022-2027 FCCC XCM and XCR, and the 2024-2027 FCCC XCS and XBS. The summary panel and the vehicles table now list each model with its own years. Since Oct. 24 the story image has shown no single span.
