Daimler Buses Tourismo Rhd: Fault Monitoring For Sideguard Assist Inactive Due To Parameter Error

Daimler Buses is recalling 59 Tourismo RHD and RHD-L buses because a software parameter error prevents drivers from being notified when the SideGuard Assist safety system malfunctions. This could leave the system inactive without the driver's knowledge, potentially reducing protection for pedestrians and cyclists. The fix is a software update.
