SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
- The defect
- Dennis Eagle, Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Elite and Proview vehicles. When the brake pads wear out, the ABS warning light may incorrectly illuminate in addition to the Brake Pad Wear warning light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays", and "Warning Devices."
- What it can cause
- The incorrect illumination of the ABS warning light may cause the driver to believe the ABS has failed, changing driving behavior and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will install software updates to the braking system and the instrument clusters, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 24, 2021. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI1437.
- 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
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 35 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Dennis Eagle vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air once before this, most recently in May 2020 as 20V294000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V346000 (seat belts), 23V335000 (visibility), 23V089000 (exterior lighting), 22V645000 (steering).
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.
