The power wire to the PDC may be inadequate and unable to accommodate the current draw. This can cause the wire to overheat and potentially melt the cab power harness connector. This could cause a loss of power to the cab and engine, which may result in the engine shutting down. A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161058-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161058-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10161058","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"PETERBILT","model":"520","year_from":2017,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_peterbilt_520","2018_peterbilt_520","2019_peterbilt_520","2020_peterbilt_520"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
