PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 8,008 vehicles, specifically 2021-2024 Kenworth (T280, T380, T480) and Peterbilt (536, 537, 548) models. A defect in the brake assembly can cause the pedal plunger to disconnect if the driver fully applies and then rapidly releases the brake pedal. This disconnection leads to a total failure of the service brakes. To resolve this issue, dealers will install a special pedal restraint bracket to ensure the plunger remains connected, free of charge.
If the brake pedal plunger disconnects, the driver will lose the ability to use the service brakes, which prevents the vehicle from stopping as intended and significantly increases the risk of a crash.
