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.
A seat belt that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury 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).
On certain trucks, the fasteners that attach the steer arm to the steering knuckle may fail. If this happens, the steer arm could separate from the steering knuckle and cause a loss of steering control. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a Dana D-series steer axle.
A loss of steering control could increase the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
On certain trucks, the lift axle pivot bolts may be too short and may not be properly tightened. As a result, the bolts could come loose or break. If this happens, parts could fall from the truck. Note: This recall only affects trucks built with Watson Chalin SL2065 lift axles.
Large fasteners that fall on the road could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to inspect and replace the lift axle pivot bolts, as necessary.
On certain trucks, the warning light for the tractor anti-lock brake system (ABS) may not turn on if the system loses power. If this happens, the driver will not get warning that the ABS is not working properly. Note: This problem would also cause the traction control (TC) and electronic stability control (ESC) lights not to turn on.
If a driver is not warned that the ABS is not working properly, there could be an increased risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the software for the cab control module (CECU).
On certain trucks, the rear axles may not contain any oil. This may result in accelerated bearing, hub and axle shaft wear. This wear could cause a separation of a wheel end (hub, wheel, and tires) from the truck.
The separation of a wheel end could increase the risk of a crash. Wheels that separate could also strike another road user.
The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their truck to a dealer to have the rear axle oil level inspected. If no oil is present, all wheel ends will be removed and bearing, hub and axle shafts inspected for damage. If excessive wear or heat damage is found, the parts will be replaced. The axles will be filled with the correct amount of oil.
