## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Peterbilt 337 and 348 vehicles.  An incorrectly located weld in the steering shaft may crack and cause the lower shaft within the steering column to separate from the mating yoke.


## What can happen

If the steering column separates from the mating yoke, loss of steering control can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

PACCAR has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the steering column, if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began August 30, 2019.  Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1\-940\-591\-422.  PACCAR's number for this recall is 19PBD.
