Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 1,968 vehicles, including several 2025-2026 models of Freightliner and Western Star trucks. A software error in the module that controls the automatic emergency braking system can cause the brake lights to fail to turn on when the vehicle brakes. Dealers will update the affected software free of charge to ensure the brake lights function correctly.
If the brake lights do not illuminate when the truck slows down or stops, other drivers on the road may not realize the vehicle is braking, which increases the risk of a rear-end crash.
Software update for the automatic emergency braking system.
