## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain 2017\-2018 Kenworth T680 and T880 trucks, and Peterbilt 567 and 579 trucks, all equipped with an automated Eaton UltraShift Plus or Eaton Advantage Transmission with right hand stalk shifter.  The display that indicates which transmission gear the driver selected may display incorrectly.  The display can indicate 'N' when the shifter is set into 'D' or 'R', and the as a result, the truck will not move.  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," and number 101, "Control and Displays."
