What the authority reported

Issue: On certain trucks, the alternator positive cable could be damaged by contact with a fastener for the left-front spring bracket. If this happens, the cable could create a short circuit. Note: This recall only affects trucks equipped with an MX-13 engine and a 160-A alternator.

Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions: PACCAR will notify owners by mail and instruct you to bring your truck to a dealership to replace and relocate a fastener for the left-front spring bracket, and ensure the alternator cable is secured properly.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
