The short version

PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the exterior lighting. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." The fog lamps may be illuminated while the high beam headlights are on. Additionally, the daytime running lights are not deactivated when the headlight control is switched to an "on" position.

WHY IT MATTERS

Vehicles that use a combination of both fog lights and head lights or daytime running lights and headlights may be too bright for oncoming traffic, possibly distracting them and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will change the wiring harness free of charge.
