The hazard
Issue: On certain trucks, the brake lights may stay on after the brake pedal is released. Safety Risk: Brake lights that stay on could cause other road users not to recognize when the truck is braking. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the 3-pin brake pressure switch with a 2-pin switch. A jumper harness will also be added. For vehicles equipped with a Cummins engine, the final repair has not yet been finalized. As an interim repair, the 3-pin brake pressure switch will be replaced with a new 3-pin brake pressure switch. A follow up notice will be sent to those owners when the final repair is available.
