What NHTSA recorded

On certain heavy duty class 8 trucks equipped with bendix automatic brake systems (abs), the brakes may have a system fault that may not be detected by the abs electronic control uunit (ecu) and therefore will not generate an abs warning light on the dash of the truck.

Possible consequence

The abs brakes may not perform as designed and in an abs assisted stop the driver may not be able to maintain steering control of the vehicle. When vehicle control is compromised there is a chance for a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect, reset and check the ecu for fault lights and check the abs brakes free of charge. The recall began on february 11, 2005. Owners may contact autocar at 1-877-973-3486.
