PACCAR is recalling certain model year 2014 Kenworth T470 and T800 trucks manufactured January 1, 2013, through January 22, 2013. A parameter in the Electronic Service Analysis "ESA" tool was mistakenly switched to disable the start-in-gear protection feature. Because of this, the vehicles may be started when the automatic transmission is in gear.
If the vehicle is started while it is in gear, it may move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will correct the ESA parameter, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. PACCAR's recall number is 13KWH. Owners may contact PACCAR at 1-425-468-7400.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
