SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:WEBBING
- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2027 Peterbilt 567, 579, 589, Kenworth T680, T880, W900, and W990 vehicles. The belt restraint webbing for the sleeper bunk was not secured properly during manufacturing.
- What it can cause
- A bunk restraint with improperly secured webbing may fail to adequately restrain vehicle occupants during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the bunk restraints, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 13, 2026. Owners may contact Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888 and Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220. PACCAR's number for this recall is 26PACH.
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 310 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% of the 19,895 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2027, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Kenworth vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 5 times before this, most recently in October 2023 as 23V717000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V544000 (seats), 26V485000 (electrical system), 26V442000 (service brakes, air).
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 October 14, 2026 as campaign 26V674000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
