- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)

- Manufacturer's number: 1217F and 17KWF
- Manufacturer: PACCAR Incorporated
- Reported: 2017\-12\-22

## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain 2018 Peterbilt 567, 579, Kenworth T680, and T880 trucks, equipped with certain Eaton Endurant and PACCAR AMT transmissions.  The transmission control module \(TCM\) may allow the engine to crank briefly even if the transmission shifter is not in neutral.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect."


## What can happen

If the transmission is not in neutral when the engine begins running, there may be unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will update the TCM software, free of charge.  The recall began February 6, 2018.  Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1\-940\-591\-4000, or Kenworth customer service at 1\-425\-828\-5000. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 1217F and 1717KWF.


## 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.
