NHTSA's recall notice

As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 14V036000.

Defect description

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain model year 2014 Peterbilt 567 and 579 model chassis manufactured January 29, 2013, through October 9, 2013, and equipped with Allison-brand transmissions. The affected vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the shifter pad backlighting. As such, the chassis fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Controls and Displays."

Safety consequence

Without the transmission shifter being illuminated, the driver may not be able to easily identify what gear the vehicle is in, which could result in cause unintentional vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.

PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will install the missing wiring, free of charge. The recall began on March 11, 2014. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 1213H.
