- [20V199000](/recalls/nhtsa/20V199000.md), 2020-04-06: SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT; ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL \(ESC\).

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

- [2022210](/recalls/tc/2022210.md), 2022-04-25: Steering. Issue: On certain trucks, the fasteners that attach the steer arm to the steering knuckle may fail. If this happens, the steer arm could separate from the steering knuckle and cause a loss of steering control. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with a Dana D\-series steer axle.  Safety Risk: A loss of steering control could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: PACCAR will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
- [2021287](/recalls/tc/2021287.md), 2021-05-14: Lights And Instruments. Issue: On certain trucks, the driver may be able to turn off the daytime running lamps \(DRLs\) while driving. Canadian regulations require that DRLs must stay on while driving, unless the headlamps or fog lamps are switched on.  Safety Risk: Driving without daytime running lights could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the 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 vehicle software.
- [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 \(CECU\).
- [2020090](/recalls/tc/2020090.md), 2020-03-05: Electrical. Issue: On certain trucks, the battery cables to the jump\-start terminal may be too long. As a result, the cables could contact and chafe against the left\-front suspension leaf spring. If this happens, a short circuit could occur and cause the positive cable to overheat or melt. Note: This recall only affects trucks with a left\-hand under\-hood battery jumper terminal.  Safety Risk: An overheated or melted battery cable could create the risk of a fire.  Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer for an inspection of the jump\-start terminal cables. If the cables are too long, they will be replaced.
- [2018739](/recalls/tc/2018739.md), 2018-12-24: Powertrain. On certain vehicles equipped with an Eaton automated manual transmission and electronic clutch actuator \(ECA\), the clutch may have been manufactured improperly and could fail. If this occurs, the broken clutch components could prevent the transmission from disengaging or shifting to neutral. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, even if the parking brake is applied, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will recalibrate the Transmission Control Module \(TCM\).
- [2018527](/recalls/tc/2018527.md), 2018-09-25: Fuel System. On certain trucks built with a Cummins X15 or ISX15 engine equipped with nylon fuel lines and a banjo bolt on the fuel pump, a blockage in the fuel cooling system may cause a fuel line to burst. This could result in a significant fuel leak onto the roadway, which would create a road hazard for other motorists. Additionally, this condition could also cause an engine stall without warning, without the ability to restart the engine. Both of these conditions may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Cummins\-authorized dealers will replace the affected nylon line with a steel line.
