kscarbel2 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Matt Cole, Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) / January 16, 2018 More than 1,200 Kenworth and Peterbilt tractors are being recalled following the announcement last week of a recall from Eaton Cummins of certain automated manual transmissions. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents, Paccar is recalling approximately 1,222 model year 2018 Kenworth T680 and T800 and Peterbilt 567 and 579 tractors equipped with certain Eaton Endurant and Paccar automated manual transmissions. The transmission control module in these trucks could allow the engine to crank while in gear, allowing the truck to move upon cranking. Paccar will notify owners beginning Feb. 16, and dealers will update the TCM software for free. Owners can contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or Kenworth customer service at 1-425-828-5000 with recall numbers 1217F and 1717KWF. NHTSA’s recall number is 17V-840.
