Daimler Trucks North America "DTNA" is recalling certain 2014-2017 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCR chassis.

A battery cable short circuit can increase the risk of a fire.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and revise the battery cable mounting bracket and cable routing, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2017. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL741.
