The defect
PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Peterbilt and Kenworth vehicles, equipped with Bendix EC80 Advanced Electronic Control Units (ECU). Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. Electrical noise and low signal to the power line carrier may cause the ECU to incorrectly process commands or stop functioning.
What it can cause
Safety systems that depend on the ECU (Automatic Traction Control, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Active Cruise Control, and Collison Mitigation System) may not function properly or at all, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will reprogram the ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 3, 2025. 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 24KWL and 24PBL.
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 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 220,764 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 95% of the 18,299 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Kenworth vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 5 times before this, most recently in June 2022 as 22V424000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 89 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 21 complaints with NHTSA, 7 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2021, 3 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 48 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V700000 (fuel system, diesel), 26V022000 (steering), 25V569000 (electrical system), 25V436000 (exterior lighting).

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.
