What happened

Paccar is recalling certain 2016 Kenworth T680, T800, and T880 trucks and 2016 Peterbilt 367, 384, 567, and 579 trucks manufactured in early January 2015 and equipped with Eaton Fuller FR 10-speed manual transmissions. The affected transmissions may fail to fully disengage from reverse gear when the shift lever is moved to neutral, causing the vehicle to unexpectedly move backward and increasing crash risk. Additionally, if the driver then shifts from reverse to a forward gear, both reverse and forward gears can become simultaneously engaged, mechanically locking the transmission.

Paccar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair affected transmissions at no charge. Owners of affected Kenworth trucks should contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000 (recall number 15KWM), and owners of affected Peterbilt trucks should contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 (recall number 1015N). The recall began on December 4, 2015.
