2022 Kenworth K270 & 2021 Peterbilt 220 recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth K270 and 2021 Peterbilt 220 vehicles. Software programing may prevent the electric power train control unit from processing stability control commands while in regenerative braking mode.
💥 The risk
Failure to process stability control commands may increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will update the electric power train control unit with a software, free of charge. All vehicles were remedied in October. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 22KWH and 22PBH.
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.)
