Summary

PACCAR Incorporated "PACCAR" is recalling certain 2022 Kenworth T440, T470, T800, and W900 vehicles. The starter interrupt may allow the vehicle to start when the transmission is not in PARK.

Consequence

Starting the vehicle when the transmission is not in PARK may cause unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.
