Defect
On trucks equipped with a digital tachograph, the owner's manual contains incorrect instructions for setting the internal clock of the tachograph. If the clock is reset, following the manual's procedure does not allow the clock to be set correctly, and the tachograph will not operate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the owner's manual with a revised version containing the correct operating instructions. Additionally, inspect the tachograph's internal clock and, if it has been reset, perform the correct clock-setting procedure.
