## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain model year 2017 Peterbilt 325, 330, 337, 348, 365, 367, 386, 389, and 587 vehicles manufactured April 20, 2016, to June 13, 2016.  The brake lights may not illuminate when the brakes are applied.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

If the brake lights do not illuminate when the brakes are applied, other drivers will be unaware the vehicle is stopping, which can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any brake light switches with date code 08\-01760, free of charge.  The recall began on January 26, 2017.  Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1\-940\-591\-4000.  Paccar's number for this recall is 816\-F.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
