Peterbilt affected vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the shifter pad backlighting.
The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the automatic transmission gear position indication (prndl). Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may be missing the wiring that illuminates the shifter pad backlighting. As such, the chassis fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Controls and Displays."
Without the transmission shifter being illuminated, the driver may not be able to easily identify what gear the vehicle is in, which could result in cause unintentional vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will install the missing wiring, free of charge.
