The issue
Issue: On certain trucks, the driver may be able to turn off the daytime running lamps (DRLs) while driving. Canadian regulations require that DRLs must stay on while driving, unless the headlamps or fog lamps are switched on. Safety Risk: Driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: PACCAR will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the vehicle software.
Description (français)
Problème : Dans certains camions, le conducteur pourrait être en mesure d'éteindre les feux de jour pendant la conduite. La réglementation canadienne exige que les feux de jour demeurent allumés pendant la conduite, à moins que les phares ou les phares antibrouillards soient allumés. Risque pour la sécurité : Conduire sans les feux de jour pourrait rendre le véhicule moins visible et augmenter les risques d'accident. Mesures correctives : PACCAR doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur camion chez un concessionnaire pour faire mettre à jour le logiciel du véhicule.
