## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain 2013\-2017 Peterbilt 567 and 579 Kenworth T680 and T880 trucks equipped with optional spotlights.  The spotlight circuit may not be adequately protected in the event of a short.


## What can happen

A short in the spotlight circuitry may increase the risk of a fire at the cab fuse block.


## The remedy

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will change the polyfuse switch in the spotlight circuit to a standard fuse, free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2017.  Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1\-940\-591\-4220.  PACCAR's number for this recall is 17KWC and 717\-B.
