The issue

On certain vehicles with air brakes, after several hard brake applications, the brake light pressure switch may not activate the brake lights with a light application of the brake pedal. If the brake lights do not illuminate, following road users would be unaware of the intent of the driver to slow the vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will repair the brake light pressure switch.

Description (français)

Dans certains véhicules munis de freins pneumatiques, après un certain nombre d'applications brusques des freins, le manocontact des feux de freinage pourrait ne pas actionner les feux de freinage avec une légère pression exercée sur la pédale de frein. Si les feux de freinage ne s'allument pas, les autres usagers de la route qui suivent le véhicule touché ne sauront pas que le conducteur a l'intention de faire ralentir son véhicule, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Mesure corrective : Les installations de service autorisées de Daimler Trucks North America répareront le contacteur de pression des feux de freinage.
