Description

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain 2021 Peterbilt 348 and 579 vehicles. The spring brake chamber may have been assembled with incorrect springs that were out of specification, which may cause the pressure plate to shift. The pressure plate may tear the diaphragm, causing a loss of air pressure and increasing the risk of a crash.
