The short version
Daimler Trucks North America LLC reported a problem with the power train. Here is what owners need to know.
The transmission grade brake on these trucks may not deactivate when the disable switch is depressed, which can cause a loss of traction in certain icy, or other slippery conditions, due to aggressive downshifting.
If the transmission grade brake stays engaged, unknowingly to the operator, in low-traction conditions, it can increase the risk of a crash.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle's programming, free of charge.
