White Truck RB2 and RC2

The involved vehicles may have been built with power unit anti-skid logic modules on tag axle installations instead of the correct trailer type modules.

Source: NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026. Last refreshed Sep 23, 2026, 2:43 AM UTC.

Summary
The involved vehicles may have been built with power unit anti-skid logic modules on tag axle installations instead of the correct trailer type modules. Since the tag axle sensor output is less than that of the power unit sensor, it requires the more sensitive trailer module. As sensor output over time drops below minimum requirements, one of two things will happen: (1) the anti-lock system on the tag axle will shut down and the cab mounted fault lamp will light or (2) the system will become inoperative without activating the fault light. This fails to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brakes".
Remedy
Dealer will replace the incorrect anti-lock module without charge to owner.
Notes
Vehicle description: truck tractors.system: service brakes; vacuum brake system.consequences of defect: if the system becomes inoperative, a brake lock-up,loss of vehicle control and an accident could occur without prior warning.note: the electrical power to the anti-lock system should be disconnected byremoving the anti-lock system fuse until the defect can be corrected.

Vehicles covered

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.

Has your White Truck been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A White Truck dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
