Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
PACCAR is recalling certain 2017-2018 Peterbilt 567 and 579 trucks and 2015-2018 Kenworth T660, T680, T800, T880, and W900 trucks. The issue involves the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), which may lose battery and/or ignition power to its controller. When this happens, the dashboard warning light that alerts the driver to ABS failure may not illuminate, meaning the driver could unknowingly operate the vehicle without functioning ABS, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners of the recall, and authorized dealers will update the NAMUX software within the cab control module at no charge to the owner. An interim notification was issued to owners on July 30, 2018. Affected consumers should contact their vehicle's manufacturer customer service: Peterbilt at 1-918-259-3258 or Kenworth at 1-425-828-5000.
