MERITOR WABCO ESC
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Meritor WABCO is recalling certain Electronic Stability Control (ESC) modules with specific part numbers that were shipped to various North American vehicle manufacturers between August 2005 and September 2011. Under certain road and driving conditions, the ESC system may incorrectly calculate slip angle due to vehicle body roll and road inclination characteristics, causing the system to misinterpret an over-steering situation and apply the outer wheel brake on the front axle.
If the driver reacts slowly during this ESC intervention, the vehicle may deviate from its intended line of travel, increasing the risk of a crash. Affected consumers should contact Meritor WABCO at 1-248-435-8001 or their vehicle manufacturer to determine if their vehicle is involved in this recall, as Meritor WABCO is working with vehicle manufacturers to identify and notify owners.

MERITOR WABCO IS RECALLING CERTAIN ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MODULES WITH PART NUMBERS 446 065 020 0, 400 850 179 0, 400 850 195 0, 446 065 027 0, AND 400 850 185 0, SHIPPED TO A VARIETY OF NORTH AMERICAN VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS FROM AUGUST 2005 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2011. UNDER CERTAIN ROAD AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, VEHICLE BODY ROLL AND ROAD INCLINATION CHARACTERISTICS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SLIP ANGLE CALCULATION OF THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM. THIS MIGHT CAUSE THE ESC TO PERCEIVE AN OVER STEERING SITUATION AND THEREFORE APPLY THE OUTER WHEEL BRAKE ON THE FRONT AXLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS PERCEIVED TO BE STABLE.
