Issue

Issue: On certain trucks, the warning indicator for low air brake pressure shows “BRAKE AIR” instead of a low brake pressure symbol. Recent changes to Canadian regulations require this symbol to be used. Note: This recall only affect trucks equipped with an ICU4Me or a Light Bar Cluster configuration. Safety Risk: While there is a low risk to safety, as per Canadian regulations, the indicator must use common symbols, instead of words, to avoid driver confusion. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Daimler Trucks of North America authorized service facility to replace the instrument cluster panel.
