2015 PETERBILT 587; 2014 PETERBILT 587
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR Inc. is recalling certain 2014-2015 Peterbilt 587 vehicles manufactured between November 11, 2013, and March 7, 2014, due to a software malfunction in the fog lighting system. When a driver turns on the high beams, the fog lights are designed to turn off, but after 10 seconds they may automatically turn back on. When both the fog lights and high beams are illuminated simultaneously, the combined light output can exceed federal safety limits and may blind oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized Peterbilt dealers will reprogram the Cab Electronic Control Unit (CECU) at no cost to correct the malfunction so the fog lights will not activate when the high beams are on. The recall began in May 2014. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Peterbilt at 1-800-473-8372 and reference recall number 414-E.
