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

- [2020148](/recalls/tc/2020148.md), 2020-04-07: Lights And Instruments. Issue: On certain trucks, the warning light for the tractor anti\-lock brake system \(ABS\) may not turn on if the system loses power. If this happens, the driver will not get warning that the ABS is not working properly. Note: This problem would also cause the traction control \(TC\) and electronic stability control \(ESC\) lights not to turn on.  Safety Risk: If a driver is not warned that the ABS is not working properly, there could be an increased risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: PACCAR will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the software for the cab control module \(CECU\).
- [2015531](/recalls/tc/2015531.md), 2015-11-09: Tires. On certain vehicles equipped with Michelin MN 295/60R22.5 XZA\-2 front tires, the programmed maximum vehicle speed may exceed the speed rating of the tire. This could result in premature tire failure to occur under certain operating conditions \(higher speeds, load and road temperature\).   A tire failure could cause the driver to lose vehicle control, which may result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will reprogram the engine’s vehicle speed parameters to limit the maximum vehicle speed to the tire speed rating.
- [2011087](/recalls/tc/2011087.md), 2011-02-25: Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with a PACCAR MX engine, the oil module centrifugal spinner filter cap may become loose, possibly allowing the cap to come off and engine oil to partially discharge from the oil module onto nearby exhaust components.  The discharge of engine oil onto hot exhaust components could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will re\-torque the oil module filter cap and install a secondary retention device on the secondary centrifugal spinner filter cap.
- [2010216](/recalls/tc/2010216.md), 2010-06-30: Steering. On certain trucks, the weld around the steering shaft tube, which joins the splined tube to the non\-splined intermediate tube, may be mislocated.  An improperly located weld bead may allow the splined tube and non\-splined tube to rotate relative one another during a low speed, high torque turn, resulting in a possible separation of the tubes.  This could cause a loss of steering control which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering shaft.
- [2009210](/recalls/tc/2009210.md), 2009-07-13: Steering. On certain vehicles, an incorrect weld on the steering shaft tube assembly may allow the splined tube and the non\-splined tube to rotate relative to one another during a low speed, high torque turn, possibly resulting in a separation of the two tubes.  This could result in a loss of steering control and a crash cause property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering shaft assembly.
- [2008349](/recalls/tc/2008349.md), 2008-09-24: Other. On certain trucks,  the inadequate stiffness of the Diesel Particulate Filter \(DPF\) bracket could result in the separation of the DPF from the chassis, which could result in personal injuries or death to motorists or bystanders.  Correction: Caterpillar dealers will replace bracket as necessary.
- [2008091](/recalls/tc/2008091.md), 2008-03-19: Brakes. Certain vehicles may have been assembled with an incorrectly manufactured Bendix MV\-3 dash control valve.  If the double check valve becomes lodged, in the event of a primary reservoir failure, air pressure can leak past the lodged valve, thereby depleting the secondary reservoir, causing a reduced ability for modulating the emergency brakes.  Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash, causing property damage, and/or personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the dash control valve.
