ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Hexagon Purus Systems USA LLC (Hexagon Purus) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Tern RC8 vehicles. A software error may occur between the digital display cluster and the pressure sensors, causing the system to show the incorrect air brake pressure and falsely indicate a brake system failure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- A display that does not show accurate information may fail to alert the driver to an actual brake issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Hexagon Purus will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 19, 2026. Owners may contact Hexagon Purus' customer service at 1-949-359-8168.
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 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% 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 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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.
Filed by Hexagon Purus Systems USA LLC with NHTSA on April 21, 2026 as campaign 26V253000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
