PACCAR Recalls Over 55,000 Defective Kenworth and Peterbilt Trucks for Risk of Crash and Injury


PACCAR Inc. has issued a recall for more than 55,000 of its Kenworth and Peterbilt commercial trucks due to safety concerns related to headlight performance and lift axle behavior.

The recall affects various models from the 2023 to 2026 model years. Federal safety officials report that the headlights on some of these vehicles may fail to turn on or operate inconsistently, reducing road visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the lift axles on certain trucks may shift unexpectedly, posing a potential risk of injury.

NHTSA warned that poor illumination at night or in low-visibility conditions could impair a driver’s ability to detect hazards. Unexpected axle movement could also affect vehicle handling or put individuals at risk during inspection or maintenance.

Affected Models Include:

Kenworth:

  • L770 (2025–2026)
  • T160 (2025)
  • T280 (2025–2026)
  • T380 (2023–2026)
  • T480 (2024–2026)
  • T680 (2023–2026)
  • T880 (2023–2026)
  • W990 (2024–2026)

Peterbilt:

  • 520 (2023–2026)
  • 535 (2025)
  • 536 (2024–2026)
  • 537 (2024–2026)
  • 548 (2023–2026)
  • 567 (2023–2026)
  • 579 (2023–2026)
  • 589 (2024–2026)
