PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 46 heavy-duty battery electric vehicles, including certain 2022-2023 Peterbilt 579 and 2023 Kenworth T680 models. The vehicles contain incorrect software in the electronic stability control program that may underestimate the weight of the truck. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for stability control, but dealers can fix the issue with a free software update.
Because the software underestimates the mass of the vehicle, the electronic stability control system may not perform as intended during driving maneuvers. This reduced performance increases the risk of a loss of control and a subsequent crash.
Free software update for the electronic stability control system.
