PACCAR will notify owners, and dealers will properly torque the capscrews and the engine will also be inspected for damage and, if necessary, repaired, free of charge. The recall began on March 29, 2021. Owners may contact PACCAR customer service at 1-425-828-5888 "Kenworth" or 1-940-591-4220 "Peterbilt". PACCAR's numbers for this recall are 21KWA and 21PBB.
