What is wrong
Hexagon Purus Systems USA LLC (Hexagon Purus) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Tern RC8 vehicles. A software error may occur between the digital display cluster and the pressure sensors, causing the system to show the incorrect air brake pressure and falsely indicate a brake system failure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
What can happen
A display that does not show accurate information may fail to alert the driver to an actual brake issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Hexagon Purus will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 19, 2026. Owners may contact Hexagon Purus' customer service at 1-949-359-8168.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
