What is wrong
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2017 Peterbilt 320 vehicles, equipped with Meritor disc brakes. The park brake chamber on these vehicles may be to small, which can cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
What can happen
A vehicle with an undersized parking brake could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to anyone in the path of the vehicle.
The remedy
PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear axle park brake chambers, free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2017. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000. PACCAR's number for this recall is 1117E.
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.
