• Recall 111017 [USA]: If engine oil comes into contact with a hot surface, there is an increased risk of a fire.
  Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2010-2016 kenworth t440, t800, and w900 trucks manufactured august 31, 2009, to april 20, 2015, and 2008-2015 peterbilt 320, 337, 348, 365, 382, and 384 trucks manufactured july 27, 2007, to april 28, 2015, and equipped with certain cummins westport isl g engines. Excessive engine crankcase pressures may cause the 90-degree elbow of the vent tube assembly to detach from the crankcase ventilation breather, possibly allowing engine oil to come into contact with hot surfaces.
  cummins will notify owners on behalf of paccar, and cummins service centers will administer the repairs which include securing the ends of the 90-degree elbow and reprogramming the electronic control module (ecm) with software that can adjust the engine output under misfire conditions to limit crankcase pressures. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on june 12, 2015. Owners may contact kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000, peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or cummins inc. At 1-800-343-7357. Paccar's number for this recall is 15kwh and 515-g.

• Recall 117204 [USA]: If the tires are underinflated due to the incorrect inflation pressure listed on the label, the truck may not be able to carry the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) load listed without experiencing tire failure which would increase the risk of a crash.
  Paccar incorporated (paccar) is recalling certain model year 2006-2016 peterbilt 587, 579, 567, 389, 388, 387, 385, 382, 379, 378, 367, 365 and 357 trucks manufactured july 25, 2005, to february 26, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with tire and rim certification labels that list a tire pressure below the actual correct amount. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, "tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a gvwr of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds)."

• Recall 2015211 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain vehicles equipped with cummins westport isl-g engines, excessive engine crankcase pressure could cause the vent tube assembly elbow to detach from the breather. This could allow engine oil to come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will install clamps at both ends of the elbow of the breather tube assembly and reprogram the electronic control module (ecm) to improve diagnostic capabilities.

• Recall 2015095 [Canada]: Label
  Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard 120 - tire selection and rims. The tire information label may indicate incorrect tire pressure, understated by 5 psi, or a tire/rim/inflation pressure combination for which the maximum gawr is slightly below the gawr of the vehicle. Underinflated tires may not be capable of supporting the maximum load as reflected by the gawr and gvwr specified on the certification label, which could cause tire failure resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: manufacturer will mail new tire and rims certification label.

• Intermittent loss of power steering assist investigation # PE20006

  On may 1, 2020, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe20006 to investigate complaints of intermittent loss of power steering assist in daimler truck north america (dtna), volvo trucks of north america (volvo) and paccar vehicles equipped with a zf/trw (trw) thp60 steering gear.  the investigation focused on 2010-2020 dtna freightliner cascadia, m2 and wst; volvo vn, vah and vhd and paccar 337, 365, 389, 567, 579 model vehicles.Field reports and interviews with fleet drivers allege that high power steering fluid temperatures could result in internal seal and bearing failures causing pressure fluctuation, affecting left and right-hand turns.  the inability of the driver to steer the vehicle as intended can increase the risk of a crash and injury. Odi analyzed data provided by trw, dtna, volvo, and paccar in response to individual information request letters.Odi found that most failures occurred within the first two years and/or 50,000 miles of service.  the claim rate decreased with time and miles in service and remained less than 0.5%. Odi normalized data from each of the manufacturers and determined that there was not a substantial difference in the failures.Additionally, trw improved a seal in the steering gear in december 2015.Trucks built on or after 2016 (as 2017 and newer model years) show a decreasing trend of failures. In view of the overall low failure rate, the nature of early-life failure, and failure rate trending downward for model years 2017 and newer, this preliminary evaluation (pe) is closed.  the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the odi reports cited in the closing resume odi report identification number document, go to nhtsa.Gov.
