What is wrong

A loss of power to the system may cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
PACCAR has already inspected and replaced the stator parts on the affected vehicles. Owners may contact Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 21PBH.
