Daimler Fuso eCanter 4S15e, Fuso eCanter 4C15e and other models recalled over a brake defect

Brakes

As part of our continuous product monitoring we have found that the detection range of the monitoring sensor may be partially covered or restricted by the vehicle body or attachments (e.g. side underride guard). This condition can potentially lead to false alarms in the instrument cluster as well as to the initiation of brake control. Road users or obstacles that are in the detection range when cornering may not be detected by the safety system or may be detected with a delay which increases the risk of an accident. At present we have not been informed of any material damage or accidents connected to the aforementioned fault.
