The issue

Issue: On certain trucks, an undersized wire in the ground circuit harness could overheat and melt a connector. If this happens, the engine may stall and you may not be able to restart it. Safety Risk: A loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to an authorized DTNA Service Facility to replace the ground wire harness.

Description (français)

Problème : Sur certains camions, un fil sous-dimensionné dans le faisceau du circuit de mise à la masse pourrait surchauffer et faire fondre un connecteur. Si cela se produisait, le moteur pourrait caler et le conducteur pourrait ne pas pouvoir le redémarrer. Risques pour la sécurité : Une perte de puissance du moteur pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident. Mesures correctives : Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur camion à un centre de service DTNA agréé pour faire remplacer le faisceau de câbles de mise à la masse.
