Daimler Truck Australia Pacific is recalling 83 Fuso eCanters because of an electric parking brake (EPB) issue.
According to the recall notice, the EPB may not operate as intended and could remain partially engaged while driving due to a manufacturing defect. If this occurs, it could overheat leading to a vehicle fire.
The notice also added that the orange EPB warning lights alert will illuminate on the instrumental cluster, should the parking brake remain partially engaged while driving.
The variants impacted are FEAV, FEB7, FEBV and FECX in the year range 2023-2025.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Daimler Truck asking them to book an appointment with their authorised dealer to have the rectification carried out, free of charge.
Daimler has also issued a recall for 31 Mercedes-Benz Unimogs because the steering gear’s bearing bushing may become detached from the steering assembly due to a manufacturing defect.
If this occurs, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of steering control while driving.
The affected variants are Unimog UHE and FGA in the year range 2022-2023.
