What is wrong
Issue:
On certain trucks, a software problem could cause the stop lamps, low beam headlamps, high beam headlamps, reverse lamps and turn signal lamps not to turn on, or to turn on unexpectedly. This problem could also cause the lift axle(s) to raise or lower on their own.
Safety Risk:
Lamps that don't work properly could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash. Lift axles that move unexpectedly could increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the vehicle software.
