Electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier may cause the ECU to incorrectly process commands or stop working.

The risk

What to do

Bendix will reprogram the ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 1, 2024. Owners may contact Bendix Customer Service at 440-329-9000.
