What is wrong
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Freightliner Custom Chass XBA Chassis equipped with Cummins B6.7N engines. The engine control module software may be calibrated incorrectly, causing the engine to not limit engine speed or torque as intended for certain safety-related functions such as vehicle braking, traction and stability control, speed control, or collision avoidance.
What could happen
If safety-related functions such as vehicle braking, stability, speed, and collision avoidance do not function properly, it can increase the risk of a crash.
