Kenworth, Peterbilt models’ exterior lighting switch failure
Paccar is recalling certain 2025 Kenworth T180; 2025 Peterbilt 535, 567; 2025-2026 Kenworth T280; 2023-2026 Kenworth T380; 2024-2026 Kenworth T480; and 2024-2026 Peterbilt 536, 537, and 548 trucks. The exterior lighting switch may fail, resulting in the hazard lights and the instrument display back-light brightness adjustment not functioning. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays," and 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment." Inoperative hazard lights cannot alert other drivers as intended. In addition, the inability to adjust the brightness on the instrument panel display can make it difficult to see critical safety information or distract the driver. Both scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.
This recall potentially affects 5,378 vehicles. Dealers will update the vehicle cab controller unit software. Owners are advised that a non-responsive switch can be temporarily reset by a key cycle. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 30. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 425-828-5888 and Peterbilt's customer service at 940-591-4220. Paccar’s numbers for this recall are 25KWB and 25PBB.
Volvo VNR Electric models’ batteries may short-circuit
Volvo Trucks North America is recalling certain 2023-2025 VNR Electric trucks. The high-voltage battery may contain loose hardware, which can create a short circuit inside the battery cells. A high-voltage battery that short-circuits increases the risk of a fire.
This recall potentially affects 13 vehicles. Dealers will replace the batteries. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 6. Owners may contact Volvo Trucks' customer service at 800-528-6586. Volvo Trucks' number for this recall is RVXX2501.
