451 units affected
Issue: On certain trucks, a software problem could cause the brake lights not to work when the brakes are automatically applied during emergency braking. Safety Risk: Brake lights that don't work could cause others not to recognize when a vehicle is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to update the active brake assist (ABA) software.
Wheels#2024210April 3, 2024

UPDATE - When Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) notified Transport Canada about this problem, they believed that it may cause a rapid air loss of a tire.

This notice is for information only and is not being conducted under the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
