Description

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2017 Peterbilt 320 vehicles, equipped with Meritor disc brakes. The park brake chamber on these vehicles may be to small, which can cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems." A vehicle with an undersized parking brake could result in the vehicle moving unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to anyone in the path of the vehicle.
