Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2016-2017 Freightliner Custom Chassis S2 chassis and Freightliner Business Class M2 trucks and non-school buses manufactured between March 3, 2015, and September 8, 2016, that are equipped with ICU3s instrument clusters and hydraulic brakes. The defect involves the instrument cluster displaying the word "PARK" instead of "BRAKE" when a brake system malfunction occurs, which prevents drivers from being aware of braking problems and increases crash risk.
DTNA will replace the defective instrument clusters with new ones at no cost to owners. An initial notification letter was sent on November 4, 2016, and a second notice was mailed on April 17, 2017. Affected owners should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 to arrange the replacement. DTNA's reference number for this recall is FL-724.
