PACCAR is recalling over 220,000 of its 2021-2025 Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks.
The commercial truck manufacturer is recalling 220,972 of its trucks for a loss of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability control. In the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall report PACCAR said the electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier may cause the Electronic Control Units (ECU) to not process commands correctly and stop functioning.
The report said that safety systems that depend on the ECU that does not function properly or at all will increase the risk of a crash.
Some of the safety systems are:
- Automatic Traction Control
- Anti-lock braking systems
- Electronic Stability Control
- Active Cruise Control
- Collision Mitigation System

PACCAR recall for engine stall
In October, PACCAR also issued a recall for 5,690 trucks. Some of the recalled trucks are listed in the recall above.
In the NHTSA report PACCAR recalled its Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, equipped with Cummins X15 diesel engines.
The report said the fuel pump barrels may fracture and cause a fuel leak. This can cause an engine stall. If an engine stalls, it increases the risk of a crash, the report said.
