Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2012-2019 Western Star 4900 trucks built with Lowmax hoods and disc brakes. There may be insufficient clearance between the front brake hose and the hood resulting in the brake hose being chafed. Front brake hose chafing may causing air loss, possibly reducing braking effectiveness and increasing the risk of a crash.
