ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM
- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2020 Peterbilt 220 vehicles equipped with Meritor 14Xe ePowertrains. The stator assembly wires may have been insufficiently crimped, causing high resistance, overheating, and preventing the high voltage system from starting.
- What it can cause
- A loss of power to the system may cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- PACCAR has already inspected and replaced the stator parts on the affected vehicles. Owners may contact Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 21PBH.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Peterbilt vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 16 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V130000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by PACCAR Incorporated with NHTSA on August 4, 2021 as campaign 21V609000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
