Dennis Eagle recall: Electrical system
What is wrong
Dennis Eagle Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling one 2017 Diego vehicle. If the changeover switch fails while the vehicle is being driven from the right-hand side (RHS), the instrument cluster and throttle controls may switch to the left-hand side (LHS). In addition, if a passenger presses the brake pedal, the Electronic Braking System (EBS) will be disabled and the brake lights may not illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 101, "Controls and Displays" and 121, "Air Brake Systems."
What could happen
Removal of the cluster display and throttle control and loss of brake lights may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dennis Eagle has notified the owner, and a dealer will update the LHS and RHS instrument cluster, and the brake line pressure switch, free of charge. The recall began August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI1310.
