Freightliner 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".
The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the electrical system instrument cluster/panel. Here is what owners need to know.
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."
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.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ICU3s instrument clusters with new clusters, free of charge.
