Summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 1,601 of its 2023 Peterbilt and Kenworth commercial vehicles due to a defect in the engine control module (ECM). The internal components of the module may experience an electrical short-circuit, which can lead to an unexpected engine stall while driving. PACCAR has identified 21 specific truck models affected by this issue, and dealers will replace the module at no cost to owners.
