The short version

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

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, if power is interrupted to the seat electronic control unit (ECU), such as when the fuse for that circuit blows, the side air bag would be disabled but there will not be a warning lamp indicator to notify the operator of the malfunction.

WHY IT MATTERS

Without a warning of a problem existing in the side air bag system, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury from the side air bag not deploying in the event of a rollover.

WHAT TO DO

PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will install a new electrical harness to correct them problem, free of charge.
