Description

PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 T440 trucks manufactured July 19, 2012, through March 20, 2013. The tread plate is installed on the entry steps such that it does not align with the cab door opening. As such, it leaves a section of the step without sufficient slip prevention. The absence of a slip-resistant surface could cause a person to slip and become injured while climbing into or out of the cab.
