PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 2,565 Peterbilt 579 trucks from the 2022-2023 model years. The molded hood mirror assemblies on these vehicles can break at the pivot joint and, if they are not secured by a wire harness or tether, they can fall off the vehicle onto the road. Dealers will inspect the mirrors and replace the assembly if necessary, completely free of charge.
A mirror that detaches while driving can fall directly into the roadway, becoming a serious hazard for other drivers and significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
