On certain trucks, the reservoir tank for the air brake system is too small. In certain situations, this could cause reduced braking. Canadian regulations require enough air reservoir capacity to ensure the brakes work even with heavy use or when there is a partial loss of the air system.
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace or add an additional air reservoir tank, as necessary.
On certain trucks, a spacer installed between the seat frame and the seat belt buckle may cause the seat belt to slip and not to work properly in a crash.

PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to remove the spacer(s) and replace the bolt(s).
