NHTSA campaign 21V220000 · Part 573 safety recall report

Dennis Eagle Inc.: Service Brakes, Air › Antilock › Abs Warning Light

Dennis Eagle Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 30, 2021 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 35. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.

The defect

Dennis Eagle, Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2021 Elite and Proview vehicles. When the brake pads wear out, the ABS warning light may incorrectly illuminate in addition to the Brake Pad Wear warning light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays", and "Warning Devices."

The risk

The incorrect illumination of the ABS warning light may cause the driver to believe the ABS has failed, changing driving behavior and increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will install software updates to the braking system and the instrument clusters, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 24, 2021. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI1437.

What this page is, and what to do next

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.

This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 21V220000.
