2020 Peterbilt 220 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Peterbilt 220 vehicles equipped with Meritor 14Xe ePowertrains. The stator assembly wires may have been insufficiently crimped, causing high resistance, overheating, and preventing the high voltage system from starting.
💥 The risk
A loss of power to the system may cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
PACCAR has already inspected and replaced the stator parts on the affected vehicles. Owners may contact Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 21PBH.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
