‘Non FMCSA compliant’ software program situation immediate recall of 76k+ model new Kenworth, Peterbilts

PACCAR has issued a recall affecting greater than 76,000 automobiles for a show situation that places the vehicles out of FMCSA compliance. 

The recall was issued for a digital show error that forestalls the show of important info. The recall impacts 2022-2023 Kenworth and Peterbilt fashions. The defect could cause the vehicles to be out of compliance with the FMCSA’s “management and show” and “transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking impact” rules, in keeping with the letter. 

Proprietor letters are anticipated to be mailed on December sixteenth, and sellers are updating the software program without cost. Only one% of the recalled automobiles, an estimated 1% of the whole recall, are believed to have the defect. 

That is the second giant recall for PACCAR this 12 months.
