Safety Recall – Interim Notification - Certain Mahle HVAC control heads may have a soldering defect which may result in inoperative HVAC controls.

A0032020-11-05. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; STEERING. PACCAR has determined that all Set Forward Front Axle (SFFA) models with the PACCAR 20K front steer axle and wide-based tires have the potential to experience a shimmy or shake in the front axle. Wide-based tires include any series tires with widths of 385 mm or higher. This is due a lack of friction in the current axle rotating components. Replacing the thrust roller bearing with a thrust washer assembly creates enough friction to eliminate the shimmy.
