POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth K270 and 2021 Peterbilt 220 vehicles. Software programing may prevent the electric power train control unit from processing stability control commands while in regenerative braking mode.
- What it can cause
- Failure to process stability control commands may increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the electric power train control unit with a software, free of charge. All vehicles were remedied in October. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 22KWH and 22PBH.
- 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 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% 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 model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kenworth vehicles have been recalled over the power train 27 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V425000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V182000 (electrical system).
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 17, 2022 as campaign 22V630000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
