NHTSA campaign 22V630000 · 4 units potentially affected · filed Aug 17, 2022
What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth K270 and 2021 Peterbilt 220 vehicles. Software programing may prevent the electric power train control unit from processing stability control commands while in regenerative braking mode.
Why it matters
Failure to process stability control commands may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will update the electric power train control unit with a software, free of charge. All vehicles were remedied in October. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 22KWH and 22PBH.
