PACCAR Incorporated is recalling 9 model year 2024 Peterbilt 520 vehicles because a rear lifting bracket attached to the engine cylinder head may not be properly secured. If the bracket is insufficiently secured, it can detach while the engine is being lifted for maintenance or repair. Dealers will inspect the rear lifting bracket and replace the flanged stud if necessary, at no cost to the owner.
A lifting bracket that detaches while the engine is being lifted can cause the heavy engine to fall or swing suddenly. This creates a significant danger for mechanics or bystanders, greatly increasing the risk of serious physical injury.
