SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
- The defect
- Dennis Eagle Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Elite garbage trucks. The Electronic Braking System control unit (EBS ECU) may be programmed with incorrect datasets, causing the anti-lock braking system to activate on the opposite side of the vehicle from any detected lock-up. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- If the ABS system malfunctions, the vehicle may require additional stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dennis Eagle will notify owners and will reprogram the EBS ECU with new software, free of charge. The recall began June 1, 2020. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI 1369.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles

Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
