What happened

PACCAR is recalling certain 2017 Peterbilt trucks (models 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 386, 389, and 587) manufactured between April 20, 2016, and June 13, 2016. The brake lights on these vehicles may fail to illuminate when the brakes are applied, which means other drivers cannot see that the vehicle is stopping. This failure creates a safety hazard by increasing the risk of crashes.

To remedy this issue, PACCAR will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace any affected brake light switches at no cost. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000. The recall began on January 26, 2017, and can be referenced by recall number 816-F.
