The issue
Certain vehicles may fail to conform to the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 121 - Air Brake Systems and CMVSS 136 - Electronic Stability Control Systems for Heavy Vehicles. In the event that the anti-lock brake system (ABS) loses battery and/or ignition power to the controller, the ABS indicator lamp may not illuminate to warn the driver of the loss of ABS, which is contrary to the requirements of the standards. This could result in the loss of ABS function with no warning to the driver, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the cab control module.
Description (français)
Certains véhicules pourraient ne pas être conformes aux exigences de la Norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 121 - Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé et de la NSVAC 136 - Systèmes de contrôle électronique de la stabilité pour les véhicules lourds. Dans le cas où le système de freinage antiblocage (ABS) perdait sa puissance batterie ou d'allumage vers le contrôleur, le voyant ABS pourrait ne pas s'allumer pour avertir le conducteur de la perte de la capacité ABS ce qui va à l'encontre des exigences des normes. Ce problème pourrait causer la perte de fonctionnement du systèmes ABS à l'insu de conducteur ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques de collision causant des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Mesures correctives : Les concessionnaires doivent reprogrammer le module de commande de la cabine.
