Volvo Trucks North America is recalling 46 Bendix EC80 Advanced Electronic Control Units (ECU) with part numbers K163499 and K190048. Electrical noise and low signal interference can cause these units to process commands incorrectly or stop working entirely. Dealers will reprogram the ECU software free of charge to resolve the issue.
If the control unit fails, critical safety systems—including Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Stability Control, and Collision Mitigation—may lose functionality. This significantly increases the risk of a crash because the driver may lose automated assistance during emergency maneuvers.
