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
