- Brake chamber diaphragm seating. Recall 14V810000 covers 1623 trucks. An improperly seated diaphragm may cause brake drag leading to potential wheel end fires. Brake chambers will be inspected and replaced if necessary for free.
- Trailer stop lamp wiring. Recall 14V722000 involves 1380 trucks. Undersized wire gauge in the trailer stop lamp circuit may overheat, increasing fire risk. Dealers will replace wiring with correctly sized wires free of charge.
- Intake manifold sensor freezing. Recall 14V086000 affects 2019 trucks. Condensation freezing can impair the intake manifold pressure sensor, causing excessive exhaust temperatures and potential fire risk. Authorized service will update engine control software at no cost.
- Alternator charge cable chafing. Recall 15V270000 covers 1494 trucks. Alternator cables may rub against metal lines causing electrical shorts and fire risk. Dealers will reroute cables at no cost.
- Hazard warning and DRL conflict. Recall 15V458000 impacts 12,551 trucks. Daytime Running Lamps override hazard warning lights after brake application, reducing hazard visibility and increasing crash risk. Software updates will restore compliance free of charge.
- Air brake system reservoirs. Recall 24V145000 affects 996 trucks. Insufficient air volume in brake tanks reduces braking performance, increasing crash risk. Dealers will install correct volume tanks free of charge.
- ABS and ESC warning light failure. Recalls 20V199000 and 18V368000 involve over 500,000 trucks. If ABS loses power, the warning light may fail to illuminate, leaving drivers unaware of ABS loss and increasing crash risk. Dealers will update NAMUX software free of charge.
- Windshield wiper motor water intrusion. Recall 15V271000 covers 104,807 trucks. Water ingress may disable intermittent wiper function and cause corrosion leading to electrical shorts or fire risk. A remedy is under development; interim notices have been issued.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Kenworth T440, T470, T660, T680, and T880 trucks manufactured January 14, 2010, to May 22, 2015, and equipped with HID Headlamps and the option for Daytime Running Lamps (DRL). The DRLs are required to deactivate when the hazard warning lights are activated, however, the DRLs on these vehicles override the hazard flashing functionality after the brake pedal is pushed for more than two seconds. Normal hazard flashing functionality returns once the service brake is released. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: If the hazard warning lamps are overridden by the DRL, oncoming vehicles may fail to be warned, increasing the risk of a crash.
