VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Peterbilt 535, 536, 537, 548, 2023-2024 Kenworth T280, T380, T480, and 2024 Kenworth T180 trucks. The throttle pedal assembly may contain an oversized magnet carrier, slowing the responsiveness or causing the pedal to stick.
- What it can cause
- A pedal that sticks increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the throttle pedal as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 11, 2025. Owners may contact Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220 and Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 25PBA and 25KWA.
- 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 1,110 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Kenworth vehicles have been recalled over the vehicle speed control 3 times before this, most recently in April 2015 as 15V206000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 18 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V436000 (exterior lighting), 25V041000 (exterior lighting), 24V915000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 24V908000 (steering).
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 January 16, 2025 as campaign 25V014000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
