The problem
Daimler trucks (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2012 thomas built saf-t-liner school buses manufactured from february 24, 2011, through august 3, 2011, equipped with bulk-head module software release 2.1 and reference parameter release p38407-06. Inaccurate fault detection values in the bulk-head module software may cause the side marker/directional lights to stop functioning after 5 to 13 minutes of vehicle operation.
The risk
Failure of the side marker/directional lights to illuminate will result in decreased visibility of the bus and/or its intended direction of travel to other drivers which could increase the risk of a crash.
