What happened

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling certain 2014 Peterbilt 567 and 579 model chassis manufactured between January 29, 2013, and October 9, 2013, that are equipped with Allison-brand transmissions. These vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the transmission shifter pad backlighting, which could prevent drivers from easily identifying what gear the vehicle is in and potentially result in unintended vehicle movement and increased crash risk.

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing wiring at no charge. The recall began on March 11, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact PACCAR at 1-940-591-4220, and reference recall number 1213H.
