Transport Canada recall 2024121 · manufacturer campaign 24KWD

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the reservoir tank for the air brake system is too small. In certain situations, this could cause reduced braking. Canadian regulations require enough air reservoir capacity to ensure the brakes work even with heavy use or when there is a partial loss of the air system.

Why it matters

Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

PACCAR will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to replace or add an additional air reservoir tank, as necessary.

Why it matters

Label

Transport Canada recall 2020139 · manufacturer campaign RT200401-1

2 April 2020

Transport Canada lists: T 800 2020

What is wrong

One truck was built with a compliance label that lists incorrect information. The label incorrectly list the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 39 008 kg. The label should instead list the GVWR as 32 000 kg. This could lead to overloading of the truck and cause poor handling or a tire failure.

Why it matters

Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of control and result in a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company provided a corrected compliance label to the final assembler and it was attached to the truck. No further actions are required.
