2022–2023 Kenworth T180, Kenworth T280, Peterbilt 535: Service Brakes, Hydraulic recall
NHTSA campaign 22V424000 · 3 units potentially affected · filed Jun 15, 2022
What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth T180 and 2023 Kenworth T280 and Peterbilt 535 vehicles. The ABS telltale was not enabled on certain vehicles, and will not illuminate even during an ABS malfunction. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
Why it matters
An inoperational ABS system may not notify the driver of a malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will perform a complete software update to correct the parameter setting, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 9, 2022. Owners may contact PACCAR's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 (Kenworth); 1-940-591-4220 (Peterbilt). PACCAR's number for this recall is 22KWC and 22PBC.
