Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is recalling approximately 744,246 EC80 Advanced Electronic Control Units (ECU) used in various commercial vehicles. These units are being recalled because electrical noise and low signal interference can cause the ECU to process commands incorrectly or stop working entirely. This defect affects critical safety systems like anti-lock brakes and collision mitigation, and Bendix will provide a free software reprogramming to fix the issue.

Risk

If the ECU fails or malfunctions, safety systems including Automatic Traction Control, ABS, and Collision Mitigation may stop working, which significantly increases the risk of a truck or commercial vehicle crashing.
