DTNA filed Cascadia under a combined MY2002–MY2017 campaign label for vehicles equipped with certain Kidde disposable fire extinguishers. The filed MY2002 start predates the controlled 2007 Cascadia launch chronology and is retained as contained regulator-taxonomy conflict FLCON-013; pre-2007 years remain excluded from the selector. · United States · regulator-filed manufacturer report
The report expressly names Cascadia, but its MY2002–MY2017 label, July 11, 2001–August 19, 2016 production interval and 24,860-vehicle population are shared campaign fields rather than family production chronology.

| Campaign | NHTSA 17V-810 · DTNA FL-759 |
| Named model / filed model years | Cascadia · MY2002–MY2017 |
| Shared production interval | July 11, 2001–August 19, 2016 · repeated for all nine campaign models |
| Shared campaign population | 24,860 vehicles · four Freightliner and five Western Star model lines, not a family production count |
| Equipment condition | Certain Kidde plastic-handle or push-button Pindicator disposable fire extinguishers could clog, require excessive activation force or detach a nozzle |
| Safety consequence | An inoperable extinguisher could increase injury or death risk during a fire; a detached nozzle could itself cause injury |

| Evidence limit | The NHTSA public vehicle record establishes only the displayed Freightliner model label, MY2026 identity and retrieval-dated safety-record counts. Recall, investigation, complaint and manufacturer-communication totals can change as NHTSA updates the record. They are not production counts and do not establish a production range, first or final model year, last build, continuous availability, universal equipment specification, generation cutover, original-SD/Plus assignment or highway/SD boundary. |

The NHTSA vehicle-specific response is retained as a bounded model-year and campaign-membership checkpoint. It complements the retrieval-dated public vehicle-page snapshot already retained for this year; the returned count and campaign list are query provenance, not production chronology or universal model equipment.

| Vehicle-specific campaign records returned | 3 |
| Campaign identifiers returned | 25V187000 · 25V601000 · 25V603000 |
| Evidence limit | The vehicle-specific response establishes only the returned Freightliner model label, requested model-year identity, result count and campaign identifiers. It does not establish a production count, continuous run, first or final model year, last build, generation assignment, original-SD or Plus assignment, universal equipment specification, derivative boundary or successor relationship. Campaign dates, equipment, populations and manufacturing windows require their own records and are not generalized here. |

BUYER RESEARCH · REVIEWED SEPTEMBER 9, 2026
The selectable 116/126 sheets cover Freightliner’s fourth-generation reference. An earlier brochure, printed August 2014 despite its dealer filename, documents the older 113/125 family. Keep those editions separate from fifth-generation equipment.
| Question | Documented reference | Buyer interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier 113 / 125 | 2014 brochure: 113 and 125 in BBC | 2,870 and 3,175 mm. The filename containing 2017 does not change the printed edition. |
| Fourth-generation 116 / 126 | Manufacturer page: 116 and 126 in BBC | 2,946 and 3,200 mm. These are distinct references, not a conversion or rounding of 125. |
| Cab and powertrain | Fourth-generation day cab and 48/60/72 in sleeper choices | DD13, DD15, DD16 and X15 appear at family level. Confirm the engine/BBC pairing and DT12 or Endurant variant on the order. |
Before comparing Cascadias, match generation, engine emissions label, roof and sleeper, transmission tag and axle specification. Investigate the prior duty cycle using total and idle hours alongside kilometres. Ask for aftertreatment and gearbox history, and for calibration evidence after collision repairs where driver-assistance equipment is fitted. Compare route-specific service support and repair findings instead of assuming all Cascadia generations share electronics, parts or fuel consumption.

06 / IDENTIFICATION & BUYER RESEARCH
Publication dates and launch milestones do not establish continuous model-year ranges. Match the VIN, production date and equipment era.
Freightliner maintains a dedicated reference for the 116 and 126 BBC fourth-generation family. This is the basis of the selectable figures here.
Freightliner fourth-generation Cascadia specifications · reviewed September 2026 ↗Daimler Truck announced the fifth generation on October 15, 2024. A launch date does not identify the generation of every truck registered in that year.
Daimler Truck fifth-generation Cascadia announcement · October 15, 2024 ↗Confirm the generation, engine emissions family and DT12 variant. Review aftertreatment and transmission records, collision-repair calibration, roof fairings and suspension ride height.
07 / TRANSPORT & TRAILER RESEARCH
Cascadia day cabs and sleepers address different trip patterns. The shorter BBC option does not by itself establish a tighter turning circle or a lighter tractor; chassis choices still control those outcomes.
Start with deck length, load placement, axle distribution and cab-to-trailer clearance.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CACompare deck height, gooseneck geometry and the loaded combination’s height.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CACheck neck compatibility, fifth-wheel loading, wet-kit requirements and the complete axle layout.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CAReview the tractor, coupling, trailer, tyres and load as one combination.
Read the guideConfirm build-specific combination, axle, tyre and coupling ratings, kingpin and service connections, clearance and actual axle weights. GVW is the loaded truck; GCW is the loaded combination. Neither is trailer payload.
Give the carrier measured length, exterior and mirror widths, height, ground clearance and transport weight. Assess deck access, breakover, loaded height and securement together.
Deck height & loaded height ↗The model badge, artwork and catalogue option selectors cannot rate an individual combination. Obtain the actual build limits and scale weights.
09 / SOURCES & OPEN QUESTIONS
Reviewed September 14, 2026. Manufacturer figures remain tied to their stated reference; converted equivalents are rounded; original source units are retained. Application and inspection notes are editorial guidance.
Verified: primary evidence for the stated claim. Corroborated: independent supporting sources. Provisional: useful evidence needing confirmation. Unresolved: conflicting or insufficient evidence. A verified service document or announcement does not verify a production range.
Reference-specific values retain their edition. Build-specific values require a VIN or order record; transport dimensions may require physical measurement. Research intervals locate references, not continuous model-year availability. Reviewed 2026-10-01.
