NHTSA Campaign 20V485000

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Issued by Daimler Trucks North America LLC · Reported Aug 14, 2020 · 1,715 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCL, XCP, XCR and XCS and 2015-2019 Custom Chassis XCM vehicles. The instrument panel brightness cannot be adjusted, possibly causing glare when driving at night. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."

Consequence

Glare can reduce the driver's visibility of the road, thus increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

DTNA will notify owner, and dealers will update the software and processor, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2021. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-859.
