Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.
Note: This lookup is by make, model and year, so it lists every recall issued for that vehicle — not all of which will apply to your exact build. A dealer can confirm what is outstanding on your VIN in a minute.

Transport Canada recall 2026333 · manufacturer campaign 26PACC

8 July 2026

Transport Canada lists: T680 2027 · T880 2027 · 579 2026

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the quick-release valve in the trailer air brake connection may have been installed backwards. As a result, the trailer brakes may not apply or release correctly.

Why it matters

Trailer brakes that don't apply or release correctly could make the trailer unstable during braking.

What the dealer will do

A PACCAR dealer has already repaired the affected trucks by correctly installing the quick-release valve.

Transport Canada recall 2025357 · manufacturer campaign 25PACF

26 June 2025

Transport Canada lists: L770 2024–2025 · T280 2024–2025 · T380 2024–2025 · T480 2024–2025 · and 10 more

What is wrong

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.

Why it matters

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.

What the dealer will do

PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the vehicle software.
