## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2022725](/recalls/tc/2022725.md), 2022-12-16: Suspension. Issue: On certain refuse trucks, the tracking rod brackets on the drive axles could break. If this happens, the tracking rod could detach and cause sudden loss of vehicle stability.  Safety Risk: A sudden loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: Paccar will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to install reinforcements on the tracking rod brackets.
- [2021006](/recalls/tc/2021006.md), 2021-01-11: Steering. Issue: On certain trucks equipped with a right\-hand stand\-up driving position, the steering column may not be properly supported and could come loose from the mounting structure. If this happens, the driver may have difficulty steering the truck.  Safety Risk: A loose steering column could cause a loss of control and create the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Peterbilt dealer to inspect, and if necessary, replace the steering column structure. Additional support brackets will also be installed.
- [2017461](/recalls/tc/2017461.md), 2017-09-25: Steering. On certain vehicles, the castellated nut and cotter pin on the steer axle may not have been tightened to specification. This could cause the tie rod to become loose in the steer axle, which would result in audible noise and/or looseness in steering. If the vehicle were continued to be operated in this condition, the tie rod could disconnect from the knuckle, resulting in a complete loss of control of a vehicle wheel, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nuts on the tie rod, and replace the tie rod stud and knuckle as necessary.
- [2015211](/recalls/tc/2015211.md), 2015-05-15: Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with Cummins Westport ISL\-G engines, excessive engine crankcase pressure could cause  the vent tube assembly elbow to detach from the breather. This could allow engine oil to come in contact with hot surfaces, increasing the risk of fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install clamps at both ends of the elbow of the breather tube assembly and reprogram the Electronic Control Module \(ECM\) to improve diagnostic capabilities.
