Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR is recalling certain 2012-2013 Kenworth K270 and K370 trucks manufactured between November 23, 2011, and September 27, 2012, and certain 2012-2013 Peterbilt 210 and 220 trucks manufactured between July 29, 2011, and September 25, 2012. These vehicles have a wiring defect that allows fog lamps to remain illuminated when high beam headlights are on, and daytime running lights to stay on when the headlight control is switched to the "on" position. When both lighting systems operate together, the combined brightness can distract oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiring harness at no cost. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Kenworth at 1-425-828-5000 or Peterbilt at 1-940-591-4000.
