SAFETY RECALLS Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Cascadia and Coronado vehicles manufactured between Nov. 21, 2011, and April 3, 2013. In the affected vehicles, when the ignition is off and the door is opened without the parking brake applied, the dashboard does not display the correct message of "Park Brake Off Door Open." Without the proper warning, a driver may not be reminded to apply the parking brake, which may lead to a vehicle roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
