   Exterior Lighting / Turn Signal

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 1990-2020 Peterbilt 320 and 520 vehicles built with specific amber rear turn signals. The turn signals may also light up with the stop/tail lights when the brakes are applied. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Rear Turn signals that illuminate at the same time as the brake lights may create confusion and impair the effectiveness of the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and for trucks with rear amber lights, dealers will add a jumper harness between the chassis electrical harness and amber tail lights, free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2019. Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 19PBC.

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 19PBC. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 1 Aug 2019.

2. 15V309000Received 26 May 2015. 4,823 units.

   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 Kenworth T440, T800, and W900 trucks manufactured August 31, 2009, to April 20, 2015, and 2008-2015 Peterbilt 320, 337, 348, 365, 382, and 384 trucks manufactured July 27, 2007, to April 28, 2015, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport ISL G engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Cummins will notify owners on behalf of PACCAR, and Cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ECM) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2015. Owners may contact Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000, Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or Cummins Inc. at 1-800-343-7357. PACCAR's number for this recall is 15KWH and 515-G.

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 15KWH and 515-G. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Jun 2015.

3. 15V108000Received 24 Feb 2015. 5,141 units.

   Steering / Linkages / Tie Rod Assembly

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2009-2015 Peterbilt 320, 365, 367, 388, and 389 trucks manufactured July 21, 2008, to February 28, 2014. The front axle tie rod end clamp bolts may be improperly torqued.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Undertorqued tie rod end clamp bolts are susceptible to corrosion, which may cause loose bolts to separate resulting in a loss of vehicle control and an increased risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front axle tie rod assembly on any vehicle where the factory installed assembly has not been previously replaced, free of charge. Owners were mailed interim notices on May 11, 2015. The recall began on April 4, 2016. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 215-C.

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 215-C. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 4 Apr 2016.

4. 14V439000Received 21 Jul 2014. 1,966 units.

   Electrical System

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Inc. (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Kenworth K300 and Peterbilt 210, 220, and 320 chassis manufactured March 14, 2012 to July 14, 2014. The affected vehicles may have loose fitting electrical connectors on the power distribution module which may cause the engine to shut off.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   An unexpected engine shut down increases the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will install nylon tie straps to hold the connectors in place until the permanent remedy, a connection position device, becomes available. Both remedies will be provided free of charge. The recall began January 29, 2015. For more information, Peterbilt owners may call 1-940-591-4220 and Kenworth owners may call 1-425-828-5000. PACCAR's number for this recall is 14KWH (Kenworth), and 714-G (Peterbilt).

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 14KWH,714-G. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 29 Jan 2015.

5. 14V086000Received 18 Feb 2014. 2,019 units.

   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Inc, is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Kenworth T440, T660, T800, and W900 tractor trailers manufactured January 23, 2013, through February 4, 2014, and certain model year 2014-2015 Peterbilt 320, 365, 382, 384 tractor trailers manufactured January 21, 2013, through February 5, 2014, and equipped with certain Cummins Westport Model ISL G and ISX12 G engines. Condensation in the intake manifold may freeze during cold weather conditions and interfere with the proper operation of the intake manifold pressure sensor.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The improper operation of the sensor could induce elevated exhaust temperatures or flames from the exhaust pipe, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire or burn injury to a person near the exhaust pipe.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and authorized Cummins service facilities will upload a new ECM calibration, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2014. Customers may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400. Paccar's recall numbers associated with this campaign are 14KWG (Kenworth), and 214-C (Peterbilt).

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 14KWG/214-C. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 12 Apr 2014.

6. 14V013000Received 24 Jan 2014. 10,414 units.

   Seat Belts

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T660, T680, T700,T800, T880, W900, T440, T470, T370, T270, T170, C500, and C550 chassis manufactured between August 7, 2013, and October 31, 2013, and Peterbilt 320, 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 382, 384, 386, 388, 389, and 587 chassis manufactured between August 7, 2013, and November 3, 2013, and equipped with IMMI-brand L9 seat belt buckles. When the button is pressed to release the seat belt, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle, making the seat belt difficult to unlatch. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the latch plate remains partially engaged after the button is pressed, egress from the vehicle could be hindered which would increase the risk of injury in the event of an emergency.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt buckles, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 31, 2014. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400. Kenworth's number for this campaign is 14KWC. Peterbilt's number for this campaign is 114-B.

   Report filed by PACCAR Incorporated. Manufacturer campaign number 14KWC/PB114-B. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 31 Mar 2014.
