PACCAR Incorporated is recalling four vehicles, including the 2022 Kenworth K270 and 2021 Peterbilt 220, due to a software issue in the electric power train control unit. This programming error can prevent the vehicle from processing stability control commands while the truck is in regenerative braking mode. All affected vehicles were reportedly repaired by October 2022, but owners should verify their vehicle's status. Dealers will provide a free software update to resolve the issue.
If the vehicle fails to process stability control commands, the driver may lose control of the truck during braking or steering maneuvers, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
