The issue
On certain vehicles outfitted with a dual display instrument cluster option that have the right hand display installed by Fontaine Modification, there could be hardware and software incompatibilities between the two displays. This may result in the the left hand display of the dash cluster to become unresponsive, which could cause a loss of turn signal function. As a result, drivers may not be able to clearly signal their intentions to turn and/or change lanes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America service facilities will replace the left hand dash cluster with a new cluster that is compatible with the right hand cluster installed by Fontaine Modification.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules dotés d'une option d'instruments à affichage double dont l'écran de droite a été installé par Fontaine Modification pourraient avoir des problèmes d'incompatibilité entre le matériel et le logiciel (entre les deux écrans). Ainsi, l'écran de gauche pourrait figer ce qui pourrait faire perdre la fonction du clignotant. Les conducteurs pourraient être incapables de clairement signaler leurs intentions de virage et/ou de changement de voie, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages aux biens. Correction : Les installations de services de Daimler Trucks North America doivent remplacer les instruments du tableau de bord gauche par un nouveau qui est compatible avec celui de droite installé par Fontaine Modification.
