The short version

PACCAR INCORPORATED reported a problem with the power train driveline. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Cap screws securing the main driveline to the forward rear axle and cap screws on the inter-axle driveline may not have been properly torqued.

WHY IT MATTERS

Fasteners which are not properly torqued to specification can result in the driveline separating from the vehicle, disabling the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. The separated component could also become a road hazard.

WHAT TO DO

Paccar will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-torque the each of the affected fasteners, free of charge.
