The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the electrical system. Here is what owners need to know.
Water may leak into the Signal-detection and Activation Module (SAM) Chassis causing corrosion which may result in electrical shorts or possible intermittent operation of trailer lights.
Intermittent operation of the trailer lights may prevent other drivers from knowing that the truck is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, an electrical short in the SAM chassis may result in a a fire.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the SAM chassis for corrosion, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.
