## NHTSA's summary

Safety Recall Certain Kenworth T680E Battery Electric Vehicle \(BEV\) chassis equipped with certain Accelera High VoltageInterlock Loop \(HVIL\) circuit configurations may experience a sudden loss of high voltage power with unintended opening of electrical contractors, which may occur without warning. This can result in a loss ofpropulsion and may increase the risk of a crash. Software version verification, along with the installation of an upgraded circuit overlay harness kit, is required to address this issue.
