- The defect
- PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Kenworth T370, T270, 2022-2027 Kenworth T280, Peterbilt 548, 2023-2027 Kenworth T480, T380, Peterbilt 536, 537, and 2025 Peterbilt 567 vehicles. The remote fuel filter hoses may separate from the fitting, causing a fuel leak and an engine stall.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. An engine stall increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuel hoses, free of charge. Owner notification letters will be mailed beginning December 20, 2026. Owners may contact Peterbilt's customer service at 1-940-591-4220 or Kenworth's customer service at 1-425-828-5888. PACCAR's number for this recall is 26PACJ.
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 26,729 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,921 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Peterbilt vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 8 times before this, most recently in October 2024 as 24V789000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V567000 (service brakes, air), 26V485000 (electrical system), 25V436000 (exterior lighting), 25V353000 (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 21, 2026 as campaign 26V700000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
