What happened

This malfunction could require additional stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.

Dennis Eagle will notify owners and reprogram the EBS ECU with new software at no charge. The recall began on June 1, 2020. Affected owners should contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136 and reference recall number FSI 1369.
