The short version

PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the electrical system software. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

These vehicles were equipped with the air suspension dump valve option. New software may cause the rear air suspension to re-inflate without warning when the operator turns the ignition key to the "off" position.

WHY IT MATTERS

An unexpected re-inflation of the suspension could result in personal injury to a person near the rear suspension.

WHAT TO DO

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the software, free of charge.
