## What is wrong

PACCAR Incorporated \(PACCAR\) is recalling certain 2020 Peterbilt 579 vehicles equipped with a sleeper box.  The conspicuity tape may have been installed in the incorrect location, affecting the vehicle's visibility to other drivers on the road.

## What can happen

Reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will install additional conspicuity tape on back of sleeper in correct location, free of charge.  The recall began November 4, 2019.  Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1\-940\-591\-4220.  PACCAR's number for this recall is 19PBE.
