DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Posted on: 2016-09-14
Description
Daimler trucks north america, llc (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 freightliner custom chassis (fccc) s2 chassis and freightliner business class m2 trucks and non-school buses manufactured march 2, 2015, to september 8, 2016, equipped with icu3s instrument clusters and hydraulic brakes. In the event of a brake malfunction, these clusters may illuminate the brake system malfunction telltale/indicator lamp with the word park instead of the word brake. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 101, control and displays, and number 105, hydraulic and electric brake systems.
Consequence
If park illuminates instead of the word brake, the driver will be unaware of a braking issue or malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dtna will notify owners, and dealers will replace the icu3s instrument clusters with new clusters, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin november 11, 2016. Owners may contact dtna customer service at 1-800-547-0712. Dtna's number for this recall is fl-724.
Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
