PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 220,764 of its 2021-2025 Peterbilt and Kenworth vehicles equipped with Bendix EC80 Advanced Electronic Control Units (ECU). The recall is due to electrical noise and low signal issues that can cause the control unit to process commands incorrectly or stop working entirely. Dealers will reprogram the ECU software free of charge to resolve the issue.
Failure of the ECU can disable critical safety systems including ABS, Electronic Stability Control, and Collision Mitigation, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. No specific 'park outside' or 'do not drive' advisories have been issued for this recall.
Free ECU software reprogramming.
