On certain trucks equipped with a PACCAR MX engine and Eaton Ultrashift DM or Allison automatic transmission (without auto-neutral), the Fast Idle Control (also known as high idle) may be activated by the operator while the transmission is in gear. This could override the parking brake, allowing the vehicle to move unexpectedly. Unintended vehicle movement could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update the engine control software.
On certain vehicles equipped with a PACCAR MX engine, the oil module centrifugal spinner filter cap may become loose, possibly allowing the cap to come off and engine oil to partially discharge from the oil module onto nearby exhaust components. The discharge of engine oil onto hot exhaust components could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will re-torque the oil module filter cap and install a secondary retention device on the secondary centrifugal spinner filter cap.
On certain vehicles, the safety latch (designed to keep the hood open during servicing) may fail allowing the hood to close unexpectedly, which could cause injury to someone working in the engine compartment. Correction: Dealers will replace the dual latch magnets with a improved single magnet.
On certain vehicles equipped with the AG400L suspension and air disc brakes, a caliper could be installed on the wrong side of the drive axle. This could cause interference with the suspension bracket and U-bolts as the outermost brake pads wear and the floating caliper moves inboard. As this interference gets larger, it prohibits the movement of the floating caliper, subsequently reducing the outer pad's pressure on the disc which can eventually lead to reduced braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one drive axle brake caliper.

On certain vehicles, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) oil seal installed on the output shaft of the valve actuator may delaminate, possibly allowing engine oil to leak from the EGR valve onto exhaust components. Engine oil leaking onto hot exhaust components, such as when the engine is under significant load, may create the possibility of a fire which can result in personal injury or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the EGR valve.
