Recall Roundup: Chrysler, Ford, Kenworth, & Peterbilt

Three recalls involving popular fleet vehicles have recently been announced.

Ram 1500 and 2500 Pickup Trucks

Chrysler is recalling certain 2021-2023 Ram 1500 and 2023 Ram 2500 vehicles. The trailer reverse steering control module (TRSCM) may prevent the rearview image from displaying when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 31, 2023.

Ford F-150 Pickup Trucks

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2023 F-150 vehicles, due to the possibility that the instrument panel top cover on the passenger-side could prevent the air bag from deploying as intended. Dealers will replace the passenger instrument panel top cover, free of charge. Owner notification letters have been mailed. 

Kenworth & Peterbilt Trucks

PACCAR Incorporated (PACCAR) is recalling certain vehicles:

• 2021-2024 Kenworth T280, T380, and T480. 
• 2021-2024 Peterbilt 536, 537, and 548.

When the brake pedal is fully applied and then released rapidly, the pedal plunger that connects the brake pedal to the brake valve may become disconnected, causing the service brakes to fail. The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 16, 2023.
