On certain vehicles outfitted with a dual display instrument cluster option that have the right hand display installed by Fontaine Modification, there could be hardware and software incompatibilities between the two displays. This may result in the the left hand display of the dash cluster to become unresponsive, which could cause a loss of turn signal function. As a result, drivers may not be able to clearly signal their intentions to turn and/or change lanes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America service facilities will replace the left hand dash cluster with a new cluster that is compatible with the right hand cluster installed by Fontaine Modification.
