PACCAR Incorporated is recalling approximately 25 of its 2023-2024 Peterbilt 579 trucks because of a defect in the tractor's parking system. The Intellipark Tractor Park Valve Module (PVM) can intermittently get stuck in the 'un-parked' position, preventing the vehicle from properly engaging the parking brakes even when the driver activates the switch. PACCAR dealers will replace the faulty module with a corrected part at no cost to owners.
If the parking valve module fails to move into the park position, the heavy truck can roll away unexpectedly while the driver believes it is secured. This unintended movement significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to the operator or bystanders.
Dealers will replace the Intellipark Tractor Park Valve Module (PVM) with a new corrected part.
