What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 Peterbilt 220 trucks with Meritor 14Xe ePowertrains may have stator assembly wires that were not crimped tightly enough. The poor connection can create high electrical resistance, causing overheating and preventing the high voltage system from starting.
If the high voltage system fails or loses power while driving, the truck may lose drive power, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should watch for warning indications from the electric drive system and contact the manufacturer promptly if their truck is affected.
The remedy is already available: PACCAR has inspected and replaced the stator parts on affected vehicles. Owners with questions can contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4220 (recall number 21PBH). The repair is free at an authorized dealer, and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
