The short version

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

WHAT

The affected vehicles were built with Michelin MN295/60 R22.5 XZA front tires and 8.25" wheels and were certified to a GAWR greater than the maximum 12,350 lbs allowed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the truck exceeds the load rating on the tire, the tire may suddenly fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Peterbilt will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 8.25" front wheels with 9.00" wheels and re-program the maximum vehicle speed to the appropriate settings, free of charge.
