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.

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.
