Two different issues.
First, steering wheel may come loose: The screw securing the steering wheel to the splines may be missing. This can lead to loss of directional control thereby increasing the risk of a collision.

Second, in the same trucks in the same build range, the vehicle safety system may incorrectly diagnose an imminent crash. In unusual situations the Active Electronic Braking System (AEBS) can misinterpret freeze frame data and cause the brakes to fully apply when not required. The driver does have time to cancel the braking activity. Brake lamps and warning flashers alert drivers behind. If the truck driver or the driver following are not alert, there is an
increased risk of collision. Vehicle owners are to be contacted informing them of the concern and asking them to observe the notes in the owner’s manual regarding potentially initiated random braking procedures. When the new update to the sensor system has been validated the vehicles will be recalled for the control units to be updated.
