What is being recalled

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS 8 HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) AND HEADLIGHTS CAN FAIL WITHOUT WARNING RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF THE DRL AND HEADLIGHT FUNCTIONS.

Why it is dangerous

IF THESE LIGHTS FAIL, A VISIBILITY PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRL CONTROL MODULE.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 98V-092 when calling a dealer.
