Daimler Trucks North America – Daytime Running Lights may not Reactivate

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Freightliner Cascadia tractors manufactured from April 12, 1210, through March 2, 2013, and equipped with a SAMCAB software version 6.2. On vehicles configured to have the turn signals operate as Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) and the ‘Turn-Tip’ turn signal function activated, the DRLs may not illuminate properly after using the ‘Turn-Tip’ function while driving.

Report Received Date 03/18/2013
