Truck-maker Paccar to recall 220,972 US vehicles over electronic system issues

Truck-maker PACCAR is recalling 220,972 vehicles in the U.S. due to issues with the electronic control units (ECU) that might impact systems associated with braking and stability control, the U.S. auto safety regulator said on Thursday.

Paccar Inc, the parent company of Kenworth and Peterbilt, is recalling nearly 220,972 vehicles in the U.S. due to potential issues with the automatic brake adjustment system, which could lead to increased stopping distances and a higher risk of crashes. The recall affects various models including Kenworth T170, T270, T370, and Peterbilt models 325, 330, 337, 340, 348, 536, 537, 548 from the years 2017 to 2024. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that the brake slack adjuster might not maintain proper adjustment, potentially causing the brakes to fail. Paccar will notify owners by mail, and dealers will inspect and replace the brake slack adjusters if necessary, free of charge. The recall is set to begin on January 29, 2024.
