PACCAR recalls 2023 Kenworth T280 trucks with faulty ABS system that won't alert driver of brake issues, risking crashes. Owners must get free software update from dealers.
An inoperational ABS system may not notify the driver of a malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR is recalling 2023 Kenworth T280 trucks that have an ABS system which won't warn drivers if brakes malfunction. This could lead to crashes if the driver isn't alerted to a problem.
The ABS telltale light doesn't work on these trucks, so drivers won't know if the anti-lock braking system is malfunctioning. This means the brakes could fail without warning, increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2023 Kenworth T280 trucks with the faulty ABS system are affected. Drivers of these trucks are at risk of crashes if the ABS fails to alert them to brake issues.
Check if your truck was mailed a notification letter from PACCAR dated December 9, 2022. The recall covers 2023 Kenworth T280 models with the ABS telltale light not functioning.
Dealers will perform a free software update to fix the ABS system parameter setting.
