Issue: rnOn certain trucks, the odometer display shows the actual distance travelled in kilometers, but the label on the dial face indicates miles. This labelling error could lead to driver confusion about vehicle speed or distance travelled. rnrnSafety Risk: rnWhile the safety risks may be low, Canadian regulations require this problem to be corrected. rnrnCorrective Actions: rnThe company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facility to inspect the odometer. The speedometer/odometer will be replaced as required.
