NHTSA recall campaign
20V294000
What was wrong
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."
Risk
If the ABS system malfunctions, the vehicle may require additional stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
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.
