2024-2026 Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks Recalled for Lighting and Axle Defects

Agency Publication Date: June 26, 2025

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 56,260 vehicles, including various 2024-2026 Kenworth and Peterbilt truck models. Several exterior lights, such as the high and low beam headlights, brake lights, reverse lights, and turn signals, may fail to illuminate correctly. Additionally, the lift axles on these trucks may move unexpectedly or oscillate when the signal warning lights are activated. Authorized dealers will provide a free software update for the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) to resolve these issues.

Risk

Faulty exterior lighting reduces driver visibility and prevents other motorists from seeing the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Unexpected movement or position changes of the lift axles also create a risk of injury to individuals near the vehicle.
