Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is about some MAN trucks. A part near the 24-volt socket in the dashboard may get too hot. This can cause smoke or fire.

What's happening? Some trucks have a problem with heat building up. This can damage the socket and start a fire.

Does this affect me? If you own or drive a MAN truck with this issue, you may be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the socket and contact a MAN dealer or your mechanic right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help with health questions.
